Surprise! Faux skydiving!!

Today Tucson friends and I went flying in a skydiving wind tunnel in Eloy, AZ at Skydiveventureaz.

We had BIG FUN flying and flailing around with an instructor to guide and control us.
My experience making about 250 free fall jumps from 1973 to about 2005 didn't help at all.  I was clearly out of practice.  But also, flying in a confined space is a lot harder than in open sky.  Tho this didn't seem to bother the two teams we watched in the trainer after our time.

The surprise is that I have no pictures right now.  We purchased a video from the center, and I must wait a month for my copy in the mail.

Breathe in.  Hold it.

Gee - we did not know about all those free falls. Good for you.
