Guys, Check out www.skydivekansas.com...


I have flown up there for a couple of years and the people are great! They are located in Osage City KS ....

I almost did this back when I lived in Manhattan. But at the time, they said they could only go up to about 10,000 feet max. Any idea if that's still the case?

And congrats on your jump. That's a kind of rush you just can't find many other places....

I don't know, that human slingshot posted yesterday might come close...

Bull riding

I have no desire to ever do this. My palms got sweaty just reading the thread title. I simply couldn't work up the guts to take that first step.

It is a blast-almost better than sex.

About 11,500, which is about 10000 max... Once you start getting higher than that, air density and alt become factors... Your jumpin from 10K AGL (above ground). Things start to get iffy for a piston airplane, especially a small one where the center of gravity shifts so quickly. Plus anything much higher and you and your jumpers start feeling the effects of hypoxia.....

So 10K is about all you get, 11500K on the altimeter....

I am fairly certain that I will probably get death even if I don't keep asking for it.
