Morning, Keith!

Al, why anyone would jump out of a perfectly good airplane willingly is beyond my scope of comprehension.

I would argue that no airplane is "perfectly good"

Yeah , fear of heights could be a problem. Never had that fear...I'll even go up an 8' step ladder!

Quote from info ..."Tandem skydives: you will jump from an altitude between 10,000 and 13,500 feet. Your freefall will last approximately one minute, followed by a 5-7 minute parachute ride. You must be over 18 years old (please bring photo id with proof of age) and weigh under 245lbs. If you weigh between 225-245lbs, there is an additional $20 charge. "

I think it would be fun to go skydiving at least once Al, but nobody will take on the big guys tandem.


Same thing with zip lines. At 280, I'd probably stretch out their cables. LOL

That sounds like jumping united !! Is the tandem position "missionary" or "doggie style" ??
