I called it "The Worlds Biggest Roller Coaster" when I was jumping. I was scared on most of the jumps, but others were as smooth as butter.
I have yet to convince anyone to go Airborne though, it scares the Hell out of most people. But I am glad that I did it.
I was in the 19th SFG(A), and it was the only NG unit, that I ever respected, and was proud to be in. They were high quaity. I was 37 when I went through, and I was the oldest guy in class to pass. There was a LTC about my age, but he fell out of 3 runs, and washed out.
