Wait.....Jake flies the plane for the skydivers. Jake is shown skydiving from the plane that he flies for the skydivers. Who is flying the plane :D

In all seriousness. Thanks for sharing! Looks like a blast

Dude, under no circumstance would I ever jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Props for taking the leap!

Always wanted to do this. Wish I would have done it before I fell 20ft and broke my hip. Now I would be too scared of the landing to do it. Congrats Jake.

That’s awesome Jake. I don’t know about you but for me it is the most peaceful serene feeling.
Congratulations

Best,

It that stage of life where we get to be jealous of our kids. I hope it was a gentle Gentile landing at the end..... :P

Hi!

Jake, whatever you do: do not let the jumpers drag you to the dark side. Stay a pilot :D :D

It's funny that you say that because he does come across a bit like that in the vid but there's no chance of that happening. Jake is one of those PITA pilots that wants everything to be by the book, by the letter. He got that from his mother :)

:D :D I only said it because I've had jumpers try the same with me! They get to know you quite a bit when you've flown 2500 lifts for them, and still try that. Skydivers are the snowboarders/surfers equivalent of the air :twisted:
