Re: Jake Skydiving
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
In all seriousness. Thanks for sharing! Looks like a blast

Re: Jake Skydiving
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.

Re: Jake Skydiving
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.....
Re: Jake Skydiving
Looks like a lot of fun, although I'd never do it
Re: Jake Skydiving

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

Re: Jake Skydiving
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

Re: Jake Skydiving
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
