Reply #9: I did it in college just to say I did it

I didn't have a lot of expendable money but there was a club that offered a class and two jumps pretty cheap.

I didn't mind the float at all because I felt supported but letting go of that Cessna for the first time was a rush. Fortunately, I wasn't first; one of my friends was. We got into position, the pilot dialed back the power, Kevin crawled out under the wing and got into position. When the jumpmaster said jump, Kevin just shook his head. After a couple of more balks we were no longer over the DZ so he had to come in and we went around again. The second time he went. It was like one minute he was there, next time he was just gone. I didn't have any problem when it my turn but I'm still glad I wasn't first.
