Would you...

Jump out of a perfectly good airplane???

This is the wonderful sight that has graced the sky early the last few mornings since I live close a small airport...

I have done some crazy shit in my life... But jumping out of a plane is not on my bucket list.. Is it on yours??

I guess the question is if you would do it again?

I used to live by Fayetteville North Carolina, and there was a small airport that had recreational jumpers, and most were in the service and members of the Airborne.

I have no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane, not thank you.


pac369 replies on 5/22/2021 10:03 pm:
I also think most of the jumpers I see are in the service.. Still a nice sight. I just don't want to do it.. Thanks TM

1. Can I do it Naked?
2. Will you do it naked with me?

If either answer is NO - then I guess you have the answer - hehe.
What's a bucket list? oh wait - it's stuff you have to do before someone will give you a bucket? Oh Oh - It's where you put the pictures of the stuff you did on the bucket list? - Just teas'n -
But really - where do I go to get naked??? hehehe

I would try parasailing and possibly hang gliding. I do want to go on a glider ride and soar with eagles and condors.

A very good friend of mine at University was a keen sky-diver and tried quite often to get me to go along for the experience. I declined, mainly because if it were not for bad luck, I would have no luck at all, so I could easily see me being that one in a million whose chute fails to open!

I had planned to do it. A local club in Ireland allowed people to jump if they had collected a certain amount for a charity of their choice. I had got the sponsors and was ready book the date,, but my doctor wouldn't give me the go-ahead as I have High blood pressure.. Ah well, nobody wanted their money back, so the charities (one was a drug addiction, and the other was the care home where my son spent his last year) got their donations.
BUT I always wanted to do the parachute jump!

Ahhh... That is a bummer ginger.. Especially frustrating when we want to do something and medical advice dictates otherwise...

So glad the charities got their donations though.. That must have made you feel good? Thanks so much for sharing that..

Oh, yeah, it's not top of my list but I would jump We have Ziplining here in Door County so I am hoping to try that this summer.

I am aroused by my own darkness and there is no cure.


pac369 replies on 5/23/2021 6:38 am:
Mmmm... I also could see myself ziplining.. That sounds fun!

It doesn't surprise me that you would jump... Just seems like your not actively searching it out.. Good luck if or when it happens.

Would love to go to the edge of that perfectly good airplane and look down then run back near the pilots and be thankful that my feet were on something solid.

The first two times I went up in a plane, I jumped out of it....
No orgasm has ever compared to the rush of falling from 12,000 feet...
It wasn't until the third time up that I had the courage to land in a plane... Lol


pac369 replies on 5/23/2021 6:44 am:
I will take your word for that hippie concerning the orgasm!

And fuck yes.. Landing in a plane is always a grabbing the arm rest so hard, my fingers turn white, until I know those brakes are working, experience for me.. Thanks for sharing your..

Jumping out of a plane is definitely not on my bucket list. I had some friends that did it together for their birthdays, 50 and 70 respectively, but I was perfectly happy watching from below.

Hmmmmm ..... Let me think. OK, I know ...... NO FUCKING WAY!

You'd have to shoot me dead and throw me out of the plane with a rip cord attached to my parachute. Even then, you'd need a crow bar to pry me out .....

If the plane is on fire or will crash then certainly I would. I'll land that sucker or at least attempt it Otherwise my government issued license is for naught.

Ahhh I can appreciate the fire or crash aspect.. But damn; what good's about a license if you don't use it??

Jump out of a perfectly good airplane??? ......... Not a chance!
If it's on fire, or falling apart I guess so.
I'd like to learn to fly the plane though.

But would you jump without the chute???
During WWII there was a tail gunner on a Lancaster bomber. Now there isn't
enough room in the turret for his parachute, his chute is kept in the back of the plane,
& there's a short tunnel between the turret & where his chute is kept.

His plane is hit & bursts into flames, he looks up the tunnel, where his chute is, & it's
already on fire. He has a choice, stay with the plane & burn.

Or jump without a chute!!! Not much of a choice, he jumped without a chute.
When the Germans picked him up, they wouldn't believe he had jumped from
12,000 feet without a chute. He had a hell of a job convincing them.

As luck would have it, they were over a pine forrest at the time. The branches of the densely planted fir trees slowed his decent & then he landed in a large snow drift.
He survived the fall with nothing more than lots of cuts & bruises.


pac369 replies on 5/23/2021 3:13 pm:
Wow! Hell of a story.. When faced with certain death from flames.. Yes.. I would jump.. Because if I died before I landed, at least there's that.. Thanks for sharing that wonderful story!

I spent 3 years with the 101St Airborne .I made 36 jumps in that time..There is nothing more more fun than jumping out of a plane 1200 ft over the drop zone with 80 or 90 pounds of gear strapped on you!! Plus its not the jump that kills you...Its the sudden stop at the end..


pac369 replies on 5/23/2021 4:26 pm:
No doubt calif... And something I don't want to experience!

But love hearing all these wonderful stories, yours included..

Thank you so much!

I was accept to, and graduated from, the 3 week Basic Airborne Course when I was in the Army. I made my 5 jumps to qualify and never jumped from another aircraft again. At age 52 I never will again. I find that the older I get, the fewer chances I take.

Been there, done that. The first airplane I jumped out of was going down in the mountains and I hit the ground before I knew the chute was even open. My next 14 jumps were high altitude with lots of free fall and I loved every minute of the free fall, its kinda boring after the chute opens. I wouldn't do it again, nothing can compare to the old memories...
