just a couple more....
hhmm... does that qualify me as narcisistic!?
:wink: or just happy I've become a skydiver :beer:
Image

this one is my favorite... perhaps because the sun, perhaps because my daughter was scared while I was diving and yet kept her focus on me through that little lens from the moment she saw me until I was safely down, or perhaps because my wrinkles don't show so much in this photo...
:lol:

it feels surreal, and solidly confident,
it feels exciting, seriously intense concentration coupled with
moments of pure delight
-better then .. hhmm... how shall I say it...
'intimacy' :wink:

Better then the wind tunnel?

Absolutely!!!!

Better then the wind tunnel by 1000% :lol:

now it is sinking in....

lets hold back on the 'awesome'part...
but thanks for the compliment! :)
(and AGAIN sorry being uch an *ss on Sat.)

Here's the 'lewest' landing, thaanks to Dmitry :)


I thought to help Adam out a little and try to dry out some spots on the landing strip:)

(did that sound convincing enough :) )

It WAS SO MUCH FUN though to drag your butt across the water trap to get a complete shower effect on my face :) (not to mention I made we the last ofmy dry clothing ;) well worth every droplet though)
