I never jumped but I had to attend water survival school because the missions the planes I flew on were all over water. The last lesson was taking us up to 200 feet in a parasail. That was pretty cool.

My cousin is into those ultralights with the parachute. He and a few of his friends travel all over the country to conventions and get-togethers. He won best engineered at a big one in Texas a few years back. He flies around here, I see him buzzing around occasionally.
 
Morning Top. I found the best stuff for getting rust stains off almost anything. My well I use to water my lawn is heavy in iron and stained the brick, shutters, and front door. This stuff took it right off with minimal rubbing. I have since put a 50 micron filter on the well which appears to have fixed the problem. Because of rule 6 I can't post the name but you can PM me.
