That would be Robin like the bird.

Actually more like the bird than ever before.

Looks like a blast, was that you taking the picture?

We jumped out. We both had a video guy following us. I was strapped to the underbelly of another gentleman. I would recommend this to anyone. When you do the tandem jump training only takes 10 minutes.

Jump out at 14,000 feet. Free fall for about 55 seconds at 120 mph. Pop the chute and float down to the ground for about the last 4000 feet.

Awesome. But I'm not sure I'm into being strapped to another man's underbelly. :lmao:

It's a little awkward for about 2 minutes but once you leave the plane all is forgotten except the freefall experience.

I told my mother I felt like we were mating and I was the female.
