There's no such thing as a 'perfectly good airplane'... At least, that was on the sign at the jump zone I went to a couple years ago. Did a tandem jump. MAN it was FUN!!

I was strapped to a dude a little bigger than me, so there was no way he wasn't getting me out of that plane. I'm fine with flying, but sometimes heights get me a little. The whole thing didn't hit me until I was in the door... actually, my jump master was in the door.. I was completely OUTSIDE of the airplane.. then he jumped. For about 3 seconds my stomach was in my throat, as I saw sky, ground, clouds, the plane, the sky, then finally settled on the ground. From that point it was like standing in front of a big fan. Not really much of a falling sensation. When he deployed the main, the transition wasn't violent or jerky. Everything was pretty quiet as we soared downward. Making a few turns here and there, we landed safely and smoothly.

Jumped from almost 15,000 feet. I highly recommend it! It's definitely an EXPERIENCE.
