Crates in Advanced Freefall - Cat. A Exam - CT Parachutists
I wasn't going to upload this right away, because it's a bit more embarrassing than the second one (by which time I had a good idea of what was going to happen, and felt more confident). Truth be told, I've never actually been on a tandem jump; my buddy J5 talked the instructors into letting me go right into the Advanced Free Fall classes and examinations without ever having jumped out of a plane before.
All of that having been said, I decided (in retrospect) that ANY person in the circumstances I was in would look silly. For what it's worth, I maintained enough composure to successfully complete the objectives of the examination, pull the 'chute at the right altitude without assistance, and also to hit the ground running. I think that should count for something.
Here it is: my very first time jumping out of a perfectly functional airplane for no particular reason other than because I can.
