Aviation will bounce back and perhaps
bounce back stronger than before. It will bounce back faster to
those who are aggressive and go for the available business.
Most aviation businesses were affected by these events. There’s
a story in this issue giving you the starting point, showing
where money will be available to those businesses that were hurt
by the events since 9.11.01.
This month I did something I never figured
I would. I jumped out of a “perfectly good” airplane. Many
times I said I would never do it. I hope I don’t get classified
as insane. If I do, I am in good company. The skydiving event
was actually very fun. I can still see that lunge from the
plane at ten thousand feet. Most likely, that image will remain
for a long time. I can still visualize my first solo flight as
a pilot. I ,personally, feel the solo flight was more
frightening than the tandem jump. Had it been a solo jump, they
might have rated about the same. The parachute jump was an
exciting experience. My only complaint is that it didn’t last
long enough. The free fall might have been all of 40 seconds.
Not long enough.. trust me. To write about it, I must
experience it. That is what life is all about. I hope you
enjoy the story.
If you don’t like the story, let me know.
I will go back and jump again to write another story. That’s
dedication for you. It’s a tough job, but someone has to do it
and I volunteer. |
