Fox Glacier, New Zealand is rated the #1 place to skydive according to several travel sites. What should a person do while here...well, skydive of course. David decided to skydive before we leave New Zealand. Linda stayed on the ground for moral support.
Waiting to get it all started
Moral support and camera/video tech
Here's the plane, the tail letters are DJE; they messed up my initials.
Getting suited up
All suited up and ready to go
Skydiving Master Nico taking pictures
The plane, the plane
Ready, waiting, and only one place to go...up!
Up, up, and away
Thumbs up, let's go...
Southern Alps in the distance
West coast-coastline
Jumping out of a perfect airplane...what?! Crazy!!!
Nothing like going 124 MPH from 0 to 15 seconds...Terminal Velocity. Can't hear a thing.
It is freezing, but the sites are beautiful! Snow-capped mountains on one side and beaches on the other.
I always wanted to fly
The parachute came out perfectly; now, total silence.
We spotted Linda waiting for us on the ground at the pickup site
What a perfect place to land, here with all the other cows
David is the one in the center of the picture
Coming in fast!
Easy as pie. Nico is a pro and set us down perfectly.
Woo hoo, feet back on the ground where they belong.
Here's a video of the whole experience
This is the day that the Lord has made...I was very glad and rejoiced in it! What better way to see what God has made, and New Zealand is an "all-in-one" view of His creation.
