My daughter Christine recently competed at the National Skydiving Championships in Houston, TX. She is the captain of an advanced 4-way team that placed 5th. She sent me a few pictures which I am sharing with you. She has about 1500 jumps and has been skydiving for 3 years. Christine is the tall blonde. 2009 National Skydiving Championships ( photo / image / picture from gfreiherr's Garden ) ( photo / image / picture from gfreiherr's Garden ) above the clouds ( photo / image / picture from gfreiherr's Garden ) sunset jump...last load of the day ( photo / image / picture from gfreiherr's Garden ) back on the ground ( photo / image / picture from gfreiherr's Garden )
Gosh your daughter is one brave woman!! I get vertigo just climbing to the second step of ladders!!! My own daughter would love to skydive as she's a bit of a daredevil. However, the price around here is extortionate for just the one jump.
It made me a nervous wreck when she first started jumping but after seeing her jump & meeting her team mates I felt a little better about it. I would not go up in the small plane they jump from.
It's not for me but I admire people who do that. Does she do fairs and festivals or just for fun. dooley
Christine is a CPA and on weekends she jumps for fun and competitions. She is also a certified AFF (Accelerated Free Fall) instructor, coach and organizer at her drop zone in FL...Skydive City. It is not anything I would ever do but I am proud of her.
