Got there, all perfectly stretched out so I could arc properly. Picked out my music (Forever Young - Alphaville). Suited up, got in the plane. Second to last to get out. Tandem was like "1, 2, 3" On about 1.5 I'm pushing back into the plane as hard as I could, not wanting ANYTHING more to do with this. Screamed for 14,999 feet to the ground.

Picked up my video tape (yes, get off my lawn) and showed it to family/friends once in a while.

I need to get that tape converted to digital
