Jumping out of a perfectly good airplane
Posted: Oct 21, 2009 6:45 pm
I just turned 50 so it was time to do something I had waited 33 years to do. Video three is the "jump."
Each video is no more than 90 seconds long.

This is the first of four short video clips. In this clip the videographer (Sandy) interviews me moments before takeoff. A coworker of mine, Jamie, is in the orange jumpsuit in the background.

This is the 2nd of four short video clips. In this clip the videographer (Sandy) follows me onto the plane and we take off heading to 14,000 feet.

This is the 3rd of 4 clips. In this clip we leave our seat, get in the door, jump out of the plane from 14,000 feet and then freefall for about 42 seconds until the rip cord is pulled. Video shot by Sandy. Can you tell what I say to the camera? And watch for the other skydiver float by!

You can see the airport once the photographer flashes the peace sign. I will then land (red canopy). The rainbow canopy included my co-worker, Jamie.
