My thoughts during the ascent.
Gee, I see why they call this plane the brown turd. There’s a lot of duck tape in here!
It’s hot and stuffy and someone’s breath reeks. Glad I popped a mint.
It’s a beautiful sunny day. A good day to die.
Wonder why I don’t feel nervous? I don’t remember taking a tranquilizer this morning.
I hope we free fall for a really long time!

My thoughts during the 40 second free fall descent.
Whew! This is awesome! It doesn’t feel like I’m hurtling 120 miles an hour through the air.
It’s kinda noisy.
I know my face is flapping.
Arch backward. The instructor said to keep on arching. I wonder what happens if I stop?

My thoughts during the parachute float to the ground.
Whoa! Sudden jerk upward. Feels like I got a wedgy everywhere.
It’s quiet now.
Really peaceful.
I like spinning.
It’s over already?
I want to do it again!
