I had a little time yesterday and decided to do a little Aerial Recon of spledeaus's office in Chatham 🙂

Out the door

One minute of Free Fall, with Pleasant Bay in the Background

Homing in on Thadd's office 🙂

The Chatham Breaks

SkyDive Cape Cod runs a really slick operation. My friend and I jumped yesterday. Fly to 10,000', exit, free fall for about 5000' and then pop the chute for a nice relaxing ride down to a stand up landing.

Vicarious Adrenaline Rush

Awesome photos.

I went through Airborne School almost 24 years ago and I'm sitting here with an adrenaline rush just from the pictures. There's something about standing in the door, looking out at the horizon, seeing the ground a couple a thousand feet below in your peripheral vision and then deliberately jumping. :woot:

Did you yell Woo Yoo? Or Yahoo?

You know how many letters to the editor have revolved around that business? Dozens published.

I love watching those damned fools jumping from the planes.

Nope, no yelling 🙂
I've read some of the those letters, but just the ones in the Cape Codder. I'm sure the Chronicle has many more to read! They run a great operation there, to bad a lot of folks scream on their way down! It's really quite peaceful once the chute opens.

So are you going to change your tag line from "Outstanding in the field" to "Out flying above the rest"?

Maybe just "Above the Rest" 🙂 or, "Higher than Spledeus" LOL

"Head in the clouds"
"Above everybody for limited periods of time"
"Higher than all the grandmas with their glaucoma 'medicine'"
Just thinking of George Carlin: if you had a doobie up there, you'd be doubly high.
"Operating in thin atmosphere"
Does a plumb bob work up there?
