| Beautiful Sky! | Are You Ready? | Only 13,000 feet... | Ear Pressure! | |||

| Like the first time, the weather cleared up in time for us to skydive! | We jumped from a smaller plane this time (the Otter). I prefer the big CASA! | We were only at about 13,000 feet this jump. Ho-hum... :) |
I could really feel the pressure in my ears
this time! At this point, we're falling about 120 mph! |
|||
| The Wind! | Still, I'm Skydiving! | Something Wrong? | Flapping? | |||
 |
 |
 |
 |
|||
| And the wind! It felt like 120 miles per hour! | Even so, I'm a trooper, and I'm having a time with my skydive! | Randy grabbed my arm. Did I do something wrong? | He's flapping my arms up and down... | |||
| I'm a Bird! |
Double-kiss for Davis! |
I'm OK! | Pull Time! | |||
 |
 |
 |
 |
|||
| Oh, I get it! I'm a bird! Look at me fly! This was fun to watch in my video! | Blowing a big double kiss for my Davis. | Don't worry honey, I'm OK! | It's time to pull the chute. I crossed my arms and Randy pulled the cord... | |||
| I was ready! |
It was a good feeling! |
Coming in to the DZ! |
Ready to Flare! |
|||
 |
 |
 |
 |
|||
| I knew what to expect this time. I knew I would go upright and feel a tug from the chute. | We enjoyed the ride down. We saw Keith in the air and yelled at him. (He heard us!) | Coming in to the DZ for our landing. You know, DZ -- that's "drop zone" for us skydivers :) | Almost to the ground and ready to flare. We pull down on the toggles... | |||
|
Another Great Landing! |
Keith Blesses Randy? |
Keith Peace Sign? |
NO... It's TWO skydives for Mom! |
|||
 |
 |
 |
 |
|||
| We slid into the target for another great landing. | What's this? It looks like Keith is giving Randy a blessing for bringing me safely down... | No, It looks like Keith is giving a peace sign. Hmm... What does he mean? | NO. He means the number TWO. Yep, two skydives for Joan! | |||
| The CASA | The Otter | |||||

| Here's the CASA that I jumped from the first time. It has a big ramp in the back! | Here's the Otter from my second skydive. It has a side door. It's Ok, but the CASA is great! | |||||
