Re: Rraa to jump out of plane ...

Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement - I have been warned by someone to bring extra changes (note plural) of underwear ... and I shall probably have lost my voice afterwards ... LOL

Probably won't be in a fit state to drive home afterwards either .... D

Re: Rraa to jump out of plane ...

A HUGE BIG THANK YOU, Audrey

and Thank You to all my sponsors - I shall defo have to put the video online once the jump has been done.

My plan is to

1 - see my doctor to get the health certificate that I need to present to the flying club - Appt with doctor on Friday 3rd Oct

2 - Book a date for training and perhaps also the jump (if they think I'm good enough and if the weather is good enough) - got to do this as soon after doc's appt as possible - same or next weekend, weather permitting.

3 - Do the jump with someone to take the shots of us all flying down to earth - possibly mid Oct now but asap

4 - Get online with it and post a link when I get home.

5 - Write "thank you" notes to everyone. Am getting very excited.

Thanks to everyone who has been generous enough to visit my JustGiving page and sponsor me. Your kindness is very much appreciated.

Re: Rraa to jump out of plane ...

Just an update - I have now done Nos 1 and 2

The dates I am hoping for will be either Saturday 18th or 25th October - the flying club will let me know which one.

Thanks again to those who have sponsored me. Will be on again to let you know about where you can see the pictures once the jump is done.

Re: Rraa to jump out of plane ...

Glad you asked - am now embarrassed because the flying club tell me, after waiting this long to hear back from them, that they are not getting many enquiries now that the weather is so unpredictable and that they will have to close for winter until the spring, unless I do the tandem jump. Now the tandem jump is one in which the "student" is tied to the front of the "expert" - this is something that scares me sh1tless. I shall have to wait until either
a) they get another four students who want to do the freefall course, as I do, or

b) the spring time when the weather is more predictable (ha ha ha) and of course then they may get more students

So - with deep blushes, I have to now wait until the club tell me they have a place, a date and a time to fly.

This is the sort of thing that makes me wish I had my own plane ...

I shall not let this go and will continue to ring them from time to time to see what is happening.

Re: Rraa to jump out of plane ...

Where are you based? My son does freefall and jumps from Swansea (near to where he's working atm) or Netheravon which is near Salisbury. The weather can be unpredictable but they are usually quite busy especially at Netheravon. Mind you he packs parachutes for them - not sure that that's a good recommendation
