I'm going skydiving this weekend, and it's my first jump.
I've gone parasailing before, but I get the feeling that
parachuting out of a moving aircraft is not quite the same!

I'm really looking forward to it, so if anybody has done
it already, I would like to hear about your experiences,
advice, anecdotes or whatever...I guess on my first jump
I'm not allowed to free-fall, right?

I'm going this Saturday morning in Mission, BC...
anybody here from Mission or ever jumped there? 
I'll report back l8r...hopefully!  :-)

Please reply via e-mail (to keep down the noise).  Thanks...fm

The biggest rush you get is realizing that once you've let 
go of the strut, you can't change your mind and climb back
into the aircraft.

Sshhh... You weren't supposed to tell him that he has to climb out of the plane, 
hang from the wing strut, and let go..... :)

When I made my first jump, I thought you just jumped out of the plane... Boy, was 
_I_ surprised!!!!! <g>
