Tina, Casey, Erin, and Jeff were the first to jump. Due to some unexpected winds, they landed in a corn field near by. By the time we saw them, Tina was ready to jump again! Sean, Becky, Trevor and Rebecca went up next. Rebecca's dad was co-pilot.
Standing on the edge of the plane about to jump was definitely the most surreal experience of the day. Everything after that was a lot less terrifying. Free falling for 60 seconds is pretty intense. Since you hit maximum velocity within 6 sec (thanks for doing the math, Miles), most of the time you feel like you're floating with a super strong wind whipping against your face. Once the parachute is launched, it becomes a peaceful glide back down to earth. (Rebecca got to drive the parachute most of the way.)
Miles and Phil were the last to jump. Everyone loved the whole experience. We ended the day with pumpkin carving and a Malaysian dinner.Check out pictures of the big day:
