I'm going to jump out of a perfectly good airplane!

It's a Cessna 182. Yea, very small plane. Should help since I probably won't be able to wait to get the heck out of there . Since I'm jumping over the Florida Keys, it's 10,000 feet above sea level. I'll have a 45 second free fall with a 5-7 minute chute ride to the ground. I can't wait! Really looking forward to it. Too bad I'll have to "suffer" a week at Disney World before we head to Key West.

Here is a link to the place I'm going.

Never jumped from a Cessna. At 6'9" I doubt i'd fit anyway. An Airbus is the best, rear cargo hatch type exit . . .AWESOME! The Otters are really good too.

Have fun. That is the key. The Instructor knows well what to do as they probably have a few thousand jumps.

I've got a ticket(compliments of my so claimed better half..maybe she's trying to hint something here) for a 14000 ft freefall jump..of course there will be 2 instructors on side grab handles..just waiting for the weather to settle down..problem is..will one be enough??? ( I thought 1 HHR was enough..it wasn't) Being high in the air isn't new to me..but not having a strap on my back is!!This should be great!!

I would have expected it to be at least a 206, not a Skylane.
