On the way back from Blue Springs Sara fell asleep. Yes! I made a slight detour from our intended route and drove us to the drop zone before she could stop me! Lily and Marshall had never seen the place, so I thought I could give them the tour and if time allowed maybe make a jump.
They loved it! We saw the Otter (jump plane) coming in for a steep landing right after we got out of the car. They were really excited to see the jumpers coming in too. We walked around and Lily got in a few practice exits out of the mockup aircraft door which is located near the loading area.
They met a couple of the other instructors and got to talk with Dee too.
I did manage to get on the last load and make a jump. It was a little crazy and gets a post of it's own.
Lily helped me check my rig and learned a few things about how it works. It was her first time seeing one. Marshall called it my backpack. Lily is ready to jump. Anyone know of a drop zone that would believe she's 18??
