SkyJump by me-the GrandPa at Phoenix area
That was the pinnacle of my 4 weeks tour in USA from India. I made even after big protest from my wife and son!
Wonderful instructor Mr Mark!
Just watch the Video of the jump!

The small plane which took us up
The small airport- just for small personal planes!- a new experience for me from India!
Mark, my instructiorn
Seeing the small plane, I was scared to go for the skyjump. Then I saw this girl going for the jump and I got the courage!
See the munipal airport! This is only for the small private planes. I was surprised to see a father and son just opened the engine,m did some repair on the 2 seater plane like we do on cars and just flew off! Risky, man!
ANother smaller plane- How dare these people are! Sorry I am not used to this!
Since many cannot see the video below (Since YouTube is blocked in many offices and countries, I am putting some stills from that video for just as an 'trailer' Please watch the video for full effect!
A view of land below before my Jump
ANother view below: Pointing down, my instructor asked me "Are you still ready to jump??
But Mark, my instructor, didnt forget to offer a prayer before our jump
We are sitting outside the plane window just ready to jump. I am tied to him at my back!
We have just jumped out. Mark has told I should arch my upper body and head backwards- or both of us will die' he said. And made me practice before boarding the plane!
I was lost- Didnt know what direction I was- whether I arched ok and will not die!
After a few seconds, I was in heaven- moving like a bullet of course tied to by instructor,mark at the back!
After some time, he pulled the parachute. Mark trained me how to guide the parachute to descent fast and then float!
Approaching landing area- Emblem of Phoenix Area Skydiving- It is cheap- About $ 200 for Jumping once+ $ 100 for taking this Video! The camera is tied to his Hand!
There is the landing strip- Our man is waiting there with the car to take us back to air port.
Finally Landed
