    Very wonderful and thanks for sharing. I have a fear of heights but I might try that some day though because it looks so fun and the view is spectacular.

    She said they were 2 miles high. Free fell for 2 mins (she said it seemed more like 1 lol) and 9 mins with the parachute decent. Only closed her eyes the first few seconds lol
    She amazes me all the time. I am definitely proud of her, she is a great girl. O.K. I might be a wee bit biased.

    I did a lot of HALO in the military, plus a ton of static line jumps. it surely is a blast! I don't think I would want to jump anymore at my age with a military chute, but those chutes they used like the one your daughter is using, if you know how to use them proper you could land as soft as a pillow.
