The pilot also wore a chute which made me neervous but then I realized, this is Mexico so what could POSSIBLY go wrong? Last edited by 160user; 02/28/23 09:02 PM. I have nothing clever to put here.

Have jumped a lot and also a pilot. Can tell you there's no such thing as a perfectly good plane! I've wished for a parachute during some X-country flights in the mountains.

Laid on the sidewalk in front of my girlfriends house for nearly 2 hours before I could walk straight. Never again! Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!
