A true story…
Oh you Cessna Caravan 900, how many divers have you dropped. Today I am in the hot seat next to the pilot. I jumped from 18,000 feet the other day. The worst part is looking down before it’s your turn. Out you go, nope it is not like a rollercoaster. I reached terminal velocity in seconds. 120 mph. It’s cold up there. My free fall lasted over over a min.
Now a few days later up we go with 9 jumpers. I climb in and buckle up. Headset on as the Turbo Prop smoothly rumbles the plane. Today we are going back to 18,000 feet. Up so high I want to cry the divers in the back are gonna fly.
The door opens and slowly they jump. As they all exit the pilot looks at me as he dives the plane to the right. I am screaming oh fudge you fudging ship jerk bobble head fudger. I was not saying fudge.
Next he straightens out and dives the nose as much as possible scaring the fudge out of me again.He is laughing at my fright.
He said this is no commercial plane and we are going for the runway fast. Here is the end beautiful landing after the drop from heaven. Yes the front window was not cracked but the glass was messed up.
I would have been better off jumping over landing…
Be kind to everyone!
