I am too young to qualify.

Heck, I'm still not thrilled when flying in a jet airplane let alone the thought of jumping out.

Hey skyguy79, can you attach a picture of a chicken to my post?

Default Now that I think of it,

There are few people I'd like to push out of a plane. Can I bring them with?

YUP. Thanks CaptJohn.

The likeness is eerily similar to me.

I will pay for the experience in which you will jump in tandem (attached) to an experienced jump instructor. You will also receive a video tape of the experience! Having all your friends and family witness the jump would also be great.

I would also consider someone that may have jumped before in the military many years ago that has always wanted to do it again.

Time to have some fun!!

If this isn't for you, please pass this onto someone that may be interested. Thank you.
Darn! Your post makes me wish I was 10 years older! Never done it. Would love to. I think.

I definitely want girls to apply to be chosen. You can respond to my email awsmattl@roadrunner.com and tell me a little more about yourself and why you would like to be chosen for this adventure.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

I did a tandem jump for my 50th birthday and wanted to do another a couple of years ago with my daughter but the people I called had a weight limit . i was only a few pounds over but have dropped my weight. So my question is ...is there a weight limit (I weigh 217) or any other limitation? Secondly what type of aircraft will be used...specifically how does one exit the plane? Third at what altitude will we jump? Fourth why do you want to video this event. I have a video of my first jump and so understand that aspect of it but why do you want to video it?

Rubicon,

There is a weight limit and you are close depending on the jump instructor. The reason we are filming this as I described in my original post is for a TV pilot. The show will be focussed on someone older that has always wanted to do something daring like this.
