Default Jumping out of a plane

Well I got so tired of sinking money into my Dodge I jumped out of a plane . Well actually it was a birthday gift from my wife and she jumped with me . I haven't been on the site much lately as my truck is running and working great and I've been enjoying the summer with a lot less grease and oil on my hands for once , and for this I have a lot of you to thank...so THANK YOU ! . Here is a video in case any of you are interested .

Wow. Great video. Although, I am still unable to convince myself that jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is a "good idea"...... Glad you enjoyed it, and happy birthday to you both!

Wild? Ok, that's one way of putting it. I think I would more think, "terrifying", or 'pucker-inducing'..... Of course, I am absolutely terrified of heights, so, they would have to pry me out the door with a crowbar to get me to jump. (helicopters at 60 feet were bad enough......)

Yea, that's awesome. Plus you just showed a video of what a lot of Ram owners would like to do. WITHOUT the chute of course.

I don't think there is enough money, beer, hookers, and/or blow to get me to voluntarily jump out of an airplane that is in-flight.

I would have done it 30 years ago. But if you add all that other stuff in, I'll do it right now!

How much, how many, how long, and how much? (respectively)

All of it forever ! Well, at least until one of my legs goes flying off on the way down.

Might be best to leave it on the ground. Not like you are going to need it before you get back there..... and I am guessing that impact from 10,000 feet wouldn't do it any favors. I doubt your insurance company would cover that particular loss...... Though, I would LOVE to be a bug on the wall when you tried to explain that one to 'em. The look on the adjusters face would be classic.
