Hey Christina,

You done gud! He musta had a blast (literally speaking) cause 30 years

ago we were jumping T-10 main and T-7A reserves .. a bitch to guide ..

but now they are jumping the foil (wing) and compared to those antiques

its almost like steering your car down the road. :-p

 

> He loved it! I got pictures to prove it.

 

Fanfriggintastic. Mayhaps your husband will pick up sky diving as a

hobby now .. lots of middle year folks are involved in it.

 

> Christina in Denver, who is NOT that crazy herself

 

Nothing wrong with jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. Stats show

that the number of deaths from jumping is far lower percentage wise than

those of taking off in a perfectly good airplane. ;-p

PS: That safety record holds for SCUBA divers too when you compare it

to surfers. Old Jaws swimming around and sees some kinda critter with

four laigs up above so he takes a bite. Same for folks playing grabbutt

in the surf .. looks like a school of fish so Jaws plows in. But down

in his own element we are just another sea critter.
