Sky Rockets in Flight...

Add this to the list of super cool experiences!!! I've tried to upload the video, but couldn't get it too work... but anyway! This was one of the coolest things that I've been able to do. Eight of us - all first timers - went out to Mesquite and enjoy a day of hotness with a little wind and rain while we all jumped out of an airplane. The people that work there are really chill and fun and help you feel really safe. I was the 6th one to go - we had to go up one by one because the plane was so small, and we needed to keep room for the pilot, the tandem guy, the videographer, the fun jumper and of course yourself. The ride was pretty cramped to say the least. It took about 25 minutes to get to altitude - 10,500 feet. The fun jumper goes first - these are guys from Las Vegas and the guys that were with us were from the show Ka by Cirque du Soleil. The fun jumper that went with us had to leave a little early to test out the wind, since it started blowing pretty hard just before I got to go. We waited for at least a half hour for the wind to die down and got pretty lucky that the last 3 of us got to go. They said we came on a great day. Anyway, when it was time to go, the camera girl hangs onto a little hand rail on the wing and films us jumping out of the airplane. Talk about a rush! It was so much fun and I would totally do it again except it can be very pricy. We ended up being there for about 10 hours, a lot longer than I expected, but it was well worth it. Thanks guys!
