		<description>[...] Well damn it, there was. Seven days of supreme weather made for skydiving; and even more (yes, more!) my schedule for work and children seemed to part like the Red Sea and I found myself at the dropzone. A few coaching jumps and then I got to funnel a two-way train exit into another sit-fly attempt, and then my trusted DZO approaches me to tell me I&#8217;ve been cleared for AFF &#8211; a privilege previously withheld pending review of my competence for the task &#8211; and that&#8217;s it. As quickly as the autumn leaves turn from green to red, yellow, and brown &#8211; I took to the air today with two first jump students. I was very pleased with both students performances, as well as honored to look across those students and see the Instructor, then a Coach, I met on jump #12. [...]</description>

		<description>Hey Troy, that sounds great!  I&#039;m always looking to check out some new airspace!  Maybe a few jump tickets with my name on them... and I&#039;ll make my way down there and give you a nice (I presume!) review on the blog!</description>

		<description>Hey Jeremy, 
Since you&#039;re in the area, why don&#039;t you come check out Plymouth Sky Sports this year, we are opening March 18 at Plymouth Municipal Airport in Plymouth Indiana (30 minutes south of South Bend).  
Thanks,
Troy</description>

		<description>I can vouch for this jeromy.   I did my second jump last weekend. It started raining on the way up and we all agreed to go anyway.  I wasn&#039;t wearing a suit, just a short sleeve and shorts.  I had hundreds of small welts on my arms and legs that lasted until yesterday.  It was not a pleasant experience.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re on the right track, just slightly confused between &quot;Liceneses&quot; and &quot;Categories&quot;.

There are four licenses granted by the United States Parachuting Association; A, B, C, and D.  They can be achieved at 25, 50, 200, and 500 jumps each, respectively.  To earn your A license, you must achieve groups of skills in a number of consecutive jumps.

The skills are listed on the &lt;a href=&#039;http://www.uspa.org/Portals/0/Downloads/Form_ALicenseProgandApp_2009_04.pdf&#039; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;USPA A license card &lt;/a&gt;.  A &quot;Category A jump&quot; (as I was referring to in my post) is a jump designed to let the student achieve all skills in &quot;Category A&quot; of the &quot;A license&quot; progression card.

If you loved it, make sure you keep doing it!  No one has a playground as big as we do!  And yes, once you earn that &quot;A License&quot; you will be allowed to jump at any (barring a very few, such as Skydive Hawii that requires a B License) USPA rated dropzone.</description>

		<description>Hey there, just found your blog and really love it so far! I just jumped this past Saturday for the first time and can&#039;t stop thinking about it! I need to go again so bad! 

I have a question for you though, in this post you mention you passed the Cat A qualifications on this first jump. Really?! I&#039;m still new to the details of skydiving but I thought Cat A is like 25 jumps (or something like that) and after that, you can jump virtually anywhere. Is that the &quot;certification&quot; that you need so you can jump at most places for $20-30?

Thanks for the posts and if you have any insight for a new jumper wanting to get certified, I&#039;d love to hear it!</description>

		<description>Well, what you&#039;re thinking of is the acceleration.  9.8m per s^2 -  That is all objects are accelerated by the force of gravity at that constant, 9.8 meters per second per second.  However, objects of different sizes, shapes, weights, and densities all are affected by air resistance differently.  An object will continue to accelerate at the gravitational constant (9.8m per s^2) until the the gravitation force approaches and meets the air resistance force.  This speed would be known as the terminal velocity.

The terminal velocity of an average human being in freefall in our atmosphere is (for &quot;flat&quot; belly-to-earth flying) between 110-130 mph.  However, due the different shape/weight of a rain drop, their terminal velocity is much lower - approximately 15 mph (I&#039;ve been told - I have no reference for that quoted speed.

I can tell you though, with quite certainly, if you skydive with the rain - it hurts!  You are going faster than that rain drops and you will collide with them.  Maybe not as much as being shot with a bb gun..  but close!</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t think this is necessarily true. When you jump from a plane you have horizontal speed and zero vertical speed. According to physics, you would drop 10m/s  just as rain drops would fall at the same speed. In the end you would be freefalling with the rain as if the rain was standing still, but then air friction comes into play and because our bodies have much larger surface area we would be slower than the rain but still a cool effect.</description>

		<description>Couldn&#039;t agree more. It&#039;s easy to be impatient, but a jump is definitely worth waiting for. The crowd makes the DZ.</description>

		<description>great post, dude. i&#039;ve only gone in the States but i&#039;m making plans to do it for PDSA (my fave charity here in the UK); they&#039;ve agreed to sponsor me and i&#039;ll try to raise a decent amount of £ for em and we&#039;ll all benefit.

if i had my way (and the money and time), i&#039;d go skydiving every day. teh funny (though i felt sad for the poor bloke): we went up and this one dude who was twice my size and about half my age, well, he refused to jump. poor guy had no idea what he was missing.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m a beginning student, still trying to pass my AFF L3 jump after two unsatisfactory attempts. My instructors have told me not to take advice or instruction from other skydivers, and I try to keep that in mind. While I&#039;ve never viewed your blog or videos as anything but entertainment, I appreciate that you&#039;ve expressed your concern that someone might to so. Keep up the great work!</description>

		<description>Sorry but you still owe beer for the 4 point 8 way.
Actually you now owe 2 cases for challenging the rules and trying to get out of buying beer. I assume you never bought beer for the first 4 point 8 way? Shame on you :(</description>

I can&#039;t really find a contact form on your site, so I&#039;m leaving a comment. I run the site: http://planetskydive.net which just aggregates skydiver&#039;s blogs into one place. Can I put your feed on there? Contact me via email that I left in the form. Thanks.</description>
