Jason's Jump with the Golden Knights

Well, as Jason's brother said, one to cross off the Bucket List! Today Jason was given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a tandem jump with the US Army Parachute Team, the Golden Knights (they train at YPG in the winter months). It was a fantastic day for the jump - hardly a breeze and nearly 80 degrees. At 13,600 feet they jumped out of the plane with a videographer and free-fell for about 60 seconds before opening their chute. When he landed he was beaming - I knew that he loved it! He got a fantastic video of the trip down to earth and several other neat souvenirs. I just hope we're not going to have to add skydiving to his list of hobbies! :)
