You're crazy you have to be a special type of person to want to do that! Good for you for finding something you enjoy that much though!

A wise drill sergeant told me in basic training that there are only two things that fall from the sky, bird shit and fools. All kidding aside, skydiving is something I just can't wrap my head around. I personally see no reason to fling myself out of a perfectly good operating airplane.

I've always wanted to do it. I've been flying for a little over 5 years.

Iv done some sky diving and bungee jumping, the bungee jumping was scarier then the sky diving.

Its been a few years sine I did that, would love to get back into it.

A few pics here for you, probably the only skydiving Camaro owner in the UK, don't mind a spot of park riding either ! I only have a Phantom 3 and are fairly newish to wingsuiting, but have been jumping for 16 years. 2nd pic is a Mr. Bill.

Hell yeah! Wonder how many gravity defying camaro owners we can find. Nice to meet you bud.
Ahh the Phantom 3, I used to fly one of those a while back. Then flew the Squirrel Swift and just got my sponsored Squirrel Freak a few months ago. That thing has some serious power and range in the flare especially!

I love the sky man!!!
