May I express my satisfaction with my first jump at your facility. After 41 years since I had parachuted, with the Para Regiment in the U.K. The memories from when I was a young man, came flashing back to me, while I was airborne. It was such a gratifying feeling to know I can still parachute. The instruction and your staff I thought were not excellent, they were brilliant. Once again my thanks. I will be back again.

Thumper,

I jumped out of a plane for the first time in my life today, with you strapped to my back. I got the jump as a birthday gift (cause I said I always wanted to do it) ---- hope you remember me.

I listened intently to all of your instructions on the ground and in the plane and went over and over them in my head when I wasn't laughing at your antics. I had the time of my life, and thought I did really well. But, as I watch the video very closely from my comfy chair at home and analyze it, I realize that you had to do everything for me. I forgot everything that you taught me the second we left the plane. I so desperately wanted to make a good movie for my 15 minutes of fame that I howl at the video because I just smiled and waved for Nick and the Camera. I did none of the work involved in the jump.......I laughed so hard at myself I almost peed my pants. You tried to get me to look at the altimeter and I had no clue, I was busy smiling at Nick. You had to hold my legs up and keep pushing my arms down, it's quite hilarious to watch.

Just wanted to thank you for a great experience and for getting me safely to the ground. Everyone I know will hear about the jump and my instructor who made me relax and have fun despite my lack of learning skills.

Thanks again,

Lucy Sherwood

My son Geoff wanted to tandem jump for his 18th birthday and I will tell you that as a parent I was extremely nervous about letting him do it. I tried talking him out of it to no avail, worried that this was a dangerous activity. Well I wanted to let you know how great you folks are and that although you make the day fun and exciting, your professionalism is very obvious. It was a great feeling, especially as a parent, to see the care and attention you put into your work.
Thank you for an incredible day, my son said it was the greatest rush of his life and is eager to come back to jump with you again.
To Thumper, many many thanks, you are a blast and I hope you realize you create memories that last a lifetime, it is appreciated.

To A.J., your video rocks, I show it to everyone, even strangers that come near me have to see it.

See you all again soon

Thank you

Hi There!
I just did my first tandem skydive jump this past weekend on June 22, 2003. I just wanted to let you know that I had an amazing time! It was something that I thought about doing but was too scared to actually take the plunge. Last year for my birthday, I received a gift certificate for a tandem jump and this year I finally did it. I was pretty scared but your staff were all welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable. You guys went out of your way to introduce yourselves and talk to us and welcomed us into your home and school.

So thank you for giving me such a great experience and thanks to all the staff who made the jump safe and exciting. Please pass this message on to Thumper (who jumped with me), to whom I want to extend a special thanks to for making me feel safe and reassured and actually getting me back to the ground in one piece! His friendly, relaxed personality and wealth of knowledge helped me to relax so I could fully enjoy my jump. Thanks again, it was amazing and hopefully I'll see you again very soon!

Many thanks to all of you who made this day so special for me - to Kristen for the instruction, Brenda for the instruction and guiding me down by radio and Jeff (who enabled me to get my butt out of the plane and who was absolutely amazing in encouraging me) - so many thanks. It scared the *** out of me, but I'm glad I did it - so THANKS. Christine Majta

STI Staff
I wanted to tell you once again how wonderful my experience today was. It had to be the biggest thrill of my life.

It took me 25 years to work up the nerve to do something "risky". I will look back on this day as a turning point in my life.

Thank you Thumper you put me totally at ease and made me remember that the day was unforgettable and exciting.

Thank you, Brooke Gerrard
