Total sensory overload. Going up is fine, I like airplanes. Opening the door with me sitting beside it was ok, though it was windy. I put my feet out, but the wind was blowing them off the step. I’m waiting for a ready, set, go and don’t hear the command to put my arms across my chest. Listening to the sound of the airplane engine, the wind blowing past me, looking at the clouds, the ground, my feet, the great view. Ok I’m out of the plane, that was quick, thumbs up and arms out. Now where is the horizon? “Arch”, “Arch”, but I can’t get my head any further back. Oh yea I have legs, sorry. Look at the altimeter 6.5 thousand. That can’t be right, look again. Time to signal and pull, wait; where was the cord?? Ok, he got tiered of waiting and pulled it. Now I’m hanging in the air, and trying to catch my breath. That was fun, I can still remember what it looked like, when I jumped out of the plane. I can’t see the shoot from here, getting instructions for landing. Lots of yelling, but it is hard to hear up here. Grab my knees and lift my legs; doesn’t that make it hard to run? Never mind, he is the instructor; I guess he knows what he is doing. It’s hard to keep your legs up like that, oh use my upper body to hold them up, got it now. We land, on our butt, on the grass, like sliding down a hill. I need practice.
I did it right this time. It was still quick, but I wasn't spinning and could see the horizon much better.
