That’s what that noise was! The canopy cords were loose and rubbing together and it sounded like a giant violin in the sky. Sure hope they didn’t go bust on the next guy  Shocked Shocked Shocked

Your braver than I am. The nearest skydive place up the road , has a terrible record need not go into detail , you get the drift.

Stew:

Did that guy following “too close” behind you buy you a drink afterwards?

Have you sent this photo to your older brother yet?

There was an accident at another facility close by recently but it was deemed jumper error (he was a solo jumper not tandem).  Thankfully this jump was with the Army Silverwings jump team and they are pretty well organized.

He didn't buy me a drink, but I did have to smoke a cigarette afterwards  Grin Grin Grin

Actually the whole family was there and my dad and brothers and sisters (minus one sister) and wife all jumped too. It was a gift to my dad from his co-workers at the Army Corp of Engineers and they let all of us kids tag along too. This was my 4th jump and my big brother's 2nd jump, but the 1st for everyone else and we all had a really good time thanks to the kindness of the tandem instructors and jump master there.
