This is what the wind tunnel at Eloy AZ looks liek in the middle of the desert!

always wanted to skydive

Fuck that shit...

what altitude did you jump from? I'm going to be jumping from 19,000 when I go with my uncle in a few weeks. I've always wanted to do it and I'm frickin stoked!

Dude, did you jump in Arizona and not let me know you were in town???

Awesome pictures Terry. You look aweful ugly standing next to your sister :-)

I was in AZ in January, I posted but i am not sure where you were.

I have jumped from 20k feet, its really nothing special and the air is so thin that your down at 10k almost immediately. Unless you hold a B license you cannot legally jump higher than 15k feet due to the use of oxygen in the plane. I am sure there are places that might violate such laws but if they are caught, the FAA will automatically revoke their skydiving licence.

A friend and I are workign on our C license so we can make beach jumps and there are a few places in the US that make 30,000 jumps.

I am looking for my cd of all the AZ pictures, when i find it i will post a few.

damn man looks fun how much did it cost ya to do that?

heres Terry in a few years i can feel it . . .


Joseph Kittinger Jr @ 102,000 ft

Dave the funny part is, that was done in '64 IIRC. He reached a top speed of like 413MPH, or something in that range. The parachute was a stage 4 chute design the auto deployed to avoid killing him. That was one of the larges moves to start the pubic looking into parachuting. It was actually over 102k feet.


As for the other question....how much did it cost me? My rig (parachute in its complete form on my back) is worth more than you car! The initial training program (A-License) is worth 1/2 of what a near mint 2gnt costs now. Where I am to date with all gear and training.....14,000.

First jump was May 10th 2007!
A-License Grad July 3rd 2007
B License pass Jan 7th 2008

165 jumps to date. need 200 by DEC 1st for my C license.

I didn't know you have a hot sister.

if your sister needs a place to stay in hawaii........... just saying :)
