Flying in the sky

Now I do not have much time, so there will not be any specific text details, but there will be a lot of photos and videos!
In short: two of my acquaintances - Oksana and Julia, about whom I once told before, decided to jump with a parachute, well, they offered me. Naturally, I could not refuse such =) We decided to jump on May 9 (paratroopers gg) at the airport near Monterey, the organizing company jumpskydivemontereybay. It was scheduled for 10 am, arrived at 9:30 am, filled out the paperwork and waited for their turn. Waited somewhere up to 12)) Then our whole lot was loaded into the route and taken to the landing site on the plane. And then we were put on a plane, popristreigivali each to his instructor, the plane climbed to the agrarian height, the door was opened and we jumped :)

A little about jumping is a long jump from a height of 15,000 feet (4,500 meters). Leap along with the instructor, he hooks me to the many hooks and locks with his back to me, the parachute behind him. So together we fly 70 seconds with a long jump, then he opens the parachute and we sit down. All this time, another parachutist operator with a mega-helmet with a video camera and a camera on his head flies with us, he takes us both off. In the end, I was given a disk with pictures and with a mounted video (video will be at the end of the post;)). The jump cost 200 dollars, the shooting - 100. It all cost to the last cent)

In short, enough words! Time for photos! =)
By the way, as always, all the pictures are clickable up to 1600 for some pixels there =)

We go to the plane


A happy face :) Behind me is my instructor


A thoughtful look into the distance


To my left a smiling girl, also jumping in our party. She said that in her youth she taught Russian, only she forgot everything))


Here is an Asian-looking girl with her instructor. As you can see, everyone is happy like elephants! : D


In the background on the right is another contented suicide bomber)


Have prepared!


Have departed !!!


Tumble in the air


We twisted, we fly flat


The weather was magnificent. The view is simply fantastic, words can not convey. This must be seen!


On the right is the Monterey Bay. We fly above the clouds!


The operator turned upside down and took us down. "And in the forehead the star burns";)


We fly!



Slightly twisted around the vertical axis



I did it!


We open the parachute, and the operator flew on. Shows us "Peace";)


We go to the landing


There is contact with the earth!
