Skydiving

Just checked this off my bucket list. If you've never gone, I highly recommend it! Anybody else had a chance to go?

Former Airborne in the U.S Army. Congrats.

You have to do a night jump. Nothing like it

Amen, Splitlog. What years were you in the Division?
The impact hitting the drop zone under a T10 chute fully rigged wasn’t something to look forward to. Better to have that wonderful impact than a long hang time. The T11 was better but a little less forgiving of mistakes if you know what I mean. Isn’t it a lovely site seeing that you aren’t going to miss the trees during a night jump?

I'd love to someday. Do you know any places in Arkansas where they offer skydiving?

Skydive Skyranch (Siloam Springs)
Central Arkansas Skydiving (Morrilton)
Skydiving Fayetteville Arkansas (Fayetteville (Duh!))
South Arkansas Skydivers (Camden)

And a few more, if any of those aren't close enough to you.

I want to go, but my fear of falling might hold me back. I honestly distrust being strapped to a man and putting my life in his hands lol

Can't say that I blame you on that one. But remember, if anything bad happens to you, then something bad will happen to the guy you're strapped to as well!
