100 Jump Wonder

42 X-Ray, our club's Cessna, has an extended wingspan, a wider body, and a more powerful engine than a run of the mill 182.

I took advantage of the beautiful fall weather by making 9 jumps at my home DZ this weekend. That brings my total number of skydives up to 106 and my total amount of free fall airtime to over 70 minutes. My paragliding, hang gliding, and sailpane buddies laugh at how many flights it takes to log an hour of free fall airtime, but 60 seconds of free fall is every bit as much fun as 60 minutes of soaring. To me, different kinds of flying are like different kinds of music; everyone is entitled to their preferences, but in the final analysis they are all equal. Anyone that disagrees is just a whuffo!
