Ah, to be young and dumb again...
Hawkdancer:
Young!!??, heck, I was 34 when I went to jump school! I was the oldest guy to graduate! Dumb? Well there is no such thing as a perfectly good airplane - they are only good to get you to the drop zone, so you can get out before they crash! Had a retired AF LTC who flew C130s tell me he thought we were crazy for jumping out of his "perfectly good airplane" - then one day, he had to get the heck out before if crashed! Then he knew why we jumped! >:D (lol)! On the other hand, "Puff, the Magic Dragon" had lots of friends on the ground.

I have never had the "opportunity" to jump out of an airplane. I'm glad there are guys like you out there who do. I was just reminiscing about the old days when I used to actually sort of enjoy sleeping on a rock. ;D
My dad served in Viet Nam, and he says there was always a lot of relief, and even some smiles, when they heard that Puff was on the way.
