The beginning of the 4-way sit-flying jump. Jump number three for the day was this fun sit-fly jump. We exited the plane with our legs linked together, then split up and flew near each other in a high-speed sitting position. My freefall computer recorded over 180 mph on this dive.

Jumping into the Little Black Creek Water Park. This was a fun exhibition jump. The target landing area was the small sandy island near the shore of the lake on the left side of the picture. A bunch of travel bugs and geocoins made the jump with me.

My ceremonial 1,000th jump pie in the face. It's a skydiving tradition. You get a pie in the face after your 100th skydive (you kneel for that pie) and after your 1,000th skydive (you stand for that one).

Me & the Gold Coast Skydivers that jumped with me. Fourteen of us went up to almost 16,000 feet for a really fun hula hoop dive for my 1,000th skydive. Yeah, I know, there's only thirteen in the picture. JC, the photographer that took the picture, was the 14th jumper.

Gold Coast Skydivers - Lumberton, Mississippi. Feel free to visit any weekend with good weather. You can see all the parachutes in the sky, maybe make a jump yourself, or take a ride up in the plane and watch all the idiots jump out.

The view under canopy at 2,000 feet. It's really beautiful and peaceful floating around over the dropzone under canopy. The Whitetail travel bug was right there with me.

The view from 14,000 feet right before jumping. Yep, this is what it looks like right before jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at 14,000 feet. The Whitetail TB got to experience this several times while it was with me.
