I wanted to jump out of those airplanes !!!! Why would you want to do that? Because I do !!!

I made my first jump in 1980 at Clewiston , Florida. I was part of a special minority of the population -- not many people have what it takes to go to a drop zone and actually jump out of an airplane! All of us who skydive know exactly how I felt during my first jump. It was the most exhilarating and liberating thing I have ever done-- EVER ! Since the day of my first jump , the sky is bluer , the grass is greener , people are more interesting , and life is better.

I have over 900 jumps , from small planes , from big planes , from a hot air balloon , from a army helicopter and a Boeing 727 jetliner. I received a certifificate of Archievement from a successfully parachuted jump from the aft exit of a Boeing 727 Jetliner. By being one of only a handful of people to have ever accomplished this feat , I was hereby entitled to hold D.B. Cooper # 147. We had over 200 people jumping from that 727 jetliner on that day, I was the 147 person to exit the jet . ( you may want to look up who was D.B. Cooper )

The best jump was from a World War II B-17 Bomber air craft , right through the bomb bay doors in the year of 1992. In 2013 that same B-17 arrived at the air port in Fort Myers , Florida for a airshow with another bomber aircraft that was a B-12. I got to take a tour of both aircrafts and while talking with the pilot , I found out that this was the same plane I got to jump from in 1992.

Skydivers can qualify for and receive a variety of licenses and ratings according to their experience , skill , and knowledge level.

To solve this puzzzle you shall have to get some information about the four classes of USPA licenses skydivers can quality for : A , B , C , AND D.

To qualify for a USPA " C " license you must have completed ??? jumps , including accumulating at least 60 minutes of controlled freefall time.

Take the total amount of jumps for a "C" license , add that total amount of jumps to the number 379. This shall give you the last three digits of the North coods.

SAMPLE:

??? + 379 = N 26 41.???

To qualify for a USPA " D " license you must have completed ??? jumps , including accumulating at least three hours of control freefall time.

Take the total amount of jumps for a "D" license , add that total of jumps to the number 479. This shall give you the last three digits of the WEST coords.

SAMPLE:

??? + 479 = W 082 03.???

After about 100 jumps , I took some training on becoming a video and camerman for skydiving. I took all the picture from the time you left the plane and landing on the ground.
