Do not do it!!! Once you start, its very hard to stop!
Have been a skydiver for almost 30 years and if you can get over the first step there is nothing like it. Do a tandem jump and try it out, then go on from there.
Seahawk, there is no "perfectly good airplane" flying out there! I am a aircraft mechanic who now flys the things and they all have problems. Try a jump and see if you like it!
Below is a tandem jump I did years ago in Germany, only "jump" photo on my laptop.
Weight limit on a tandem is a bit higher. With acc free fall jump you can be skydiving by yourself the first day. Costs more but safer if you want to be alone.
