The Navy's Leapfrogs inflite during a tri-by-side!

"I watched him strap on his harness and helmet, climb into the cockpit and, minutes later, a black dot falls off the wing two thousand feet above our field. At almost the same instant, a white streak behind him flowered out into the delicate wavering muslin of a parachute ...a few gossamer yards grasping into air and suspending below them,with invisible threads, a human life, and man who by stitches, cloth,and cord, had made himself a god of the sky for those immortal moments." -- Charles Lindbergh

What is Skydiving?

The Army's Golden
Knights doing a quad-by-side!

It all began while my friend John and I were at a San Diego Chargers football game and the Navy Seals skydive team, who are known as the" Leapfrogs", jumped into the stadium prior to the game. As they were landing John looked over at me and said "Let's do it", I looked back at him and said "Ok". I had been wanting to skydive for quite awhile and that was the clencher. On Jan. 17, 1999 we went down to Air Adventures Skydiving (now known as Skydive San Diego) at Brown field and started our AFF (Accelerated Free Fall) training, you go thru 7 levels learning different aspects of skydiving. After 12 jumps out of a perfectly good airplane I completed the training. I now hold a "B" license and am working on getting my "C" license. Needless to say I am totally hooked and as of August 18, 2003 I have 144 skydives!! If you live in the San Diego area or are planning to visit and would like more info on AFF, Tandem, Staticline or are an experienced parachutist and would like to make a dive or 2, check out the Skydive San Diego website below!
