Reds In the Air!
Recently, there have been several blogs here (and on Wyatt's blog) with our friend Skully. She's a Red Headed Girl of the Skyways. I felt I needed to, as a public service, show that not all Redheads are worthy of flight.
For example. . . Mrs Deathlok:
Sure, there's a guy fondling my wife. But, as they say, what happens at 3,500 feet stays at 3,500 feet. Besides, it could be worse, I could have left the ground. . . . . .hmmmmm. . . .not so much.
Sure, I'm a wimp. But look at it this:
This is a picture of my Mom, who in her mid seventies (at the time) joined the other fools that went up in a perfectly good airplane and jumped out of it.

Much braver than I'll ever be! WOW!
My co-worker's husband proposed to her while they were skydiving.
Mrs. Deathlok looked like she rather enjoyed herself. Just saying.
That's because Mrs. Deathlok is joining the Mile High Club in that photo.
And Mama Deathlok always scared me. Tough, tough woman!
The jumpers I flew would hurl themselves out of the airplane towards the hard ground without thought. Back in the day, without the better chutes and equipment, I saw a shattered pelvis, broken leg, and two deaths (not on my plane thank God) in the summers I flew jumpers to build flight time. But they were PETRIFIED of the ride up. One day, in a Tailwheel Cessna, I got a load of carb ice and the engine just barely burped. . I mean it was a Rosylyn Carter burp. . and suddenly I had 5 people FLINGING themselves out of the airplane at too low an altitude to escape the upcoming carnage. I pulled the carb heat, came back around and landed. That was a wasted trip.
DANG! I think I just fell in love with your wife! Whatta gal.
ScullyWriter . . . apoplectic is all I can come up with . . . because it's not used enough. Such a wonderful word. So much so I had to spellcheck it.
I bet your Mom can kick Wyatt's butt Huh? That is awesome that she jumped!!
When she jumped, my Dad almost died. She actually said "I've always wanted to do that. If I die on the way die, at least it will be doing something that I always wanted to do."
you need to have your Mom post what it was like. . I never had the guts to do that. . only to fly them up.
I've never wanted to jump out of a plane, but good for your mom and wife that they did something they wanted to do! Mothers are always doing for others, so good for them!
Go, Barb - the last time I had a 20-something guy grope me, I was getting a tattoo, um, somewhere. But I guess technically I was paying for that....
Go Aunt Dot.
But why would anyone jump out of perfectly good airplane?
