Diabetes Talking

Question:

My 70th Birthday is coming up in Oct. After 12,000 hours as an Air Force Pilot, and wondering what it would be like to be forced to jump, I’ve decided to give myself a Birthday present,  and try Sky Diving. I’ll start training next Month and go for it in Oct. If you don’t hear from me after that, then I’ve proved you do get dumber as you age.—Herb F.

You’re gonna jump out of a perfectly good airplane? On purpose? Have fun, keep your knees bent and your feet together, and watch out for that size 13 ejection seat. And save the shirttail with the wafflestomper imprint. Jim

Hi Herb, Go for it! Were you Air Force Acadamy? My dad was AA Corp WW11 SSgt in a Control Tower in the Middle East. Please pardon my nosiness, but what did you fly?

Good luck Herb, why not get sponsorship for a Diabetis cause. I’m in the UK but would gladly send 5 dollars. Fu    http://www.newsfeed.com       The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! —–= Over 100,000 Newsgroups – Unlimited Fast Downloads – 19 Servers =—–

How old was John Glen when he took the shuttle? My mother, on her 70th took a glider ride. She loved it! The B-36 was a monster. How long a runway did you need?  Were you flying into Nam with C-24? Again please excuse my nosiness, but the subject facinates me. 12,000 hrs of flight time is almost 2 years worth. That’s a lot of Flying. Thanks, Sleepy My 70th Birthday is coming up in Oct.

Happy Birthday a little early, Herb! What an exciting birthday present to give yourself! You will be seeing "flying" from a completely different perspective!  The news showed pictures of a lady sky diving recently and I believe it was her 95th birthday! Way to go! Good luck with your training and let us know it goes! Best, Dot Type 2  Diag 8/2001 – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – My 70th Birthday is coming up in Oct.

WOW! Sky Diving!  Enjoy your birthday…and the view on the way to the ground. I have always been – and most likely always will be of the thought of actually jumping from a perfectly good plane. Living Vicariously… Marie, Caretaker Mom T2 Dx 3/2002
