Skydiving And An L-39 Jet (1/26)

I attended the Everglades Skydiving Boogie event held at Air Adventures in Clewiston, Florida during the weekend of January 25-27, 2008! This was an awesome skydiving event with at least four jump aircraft (Balloons, Helicopter, Super Otters, and Skyvan) and had a tremendous turnout and good weather most of the time.



The event even allowed both skydivers and non-skydivers to get a ride in two incredible aerobatic aircraft, an Extra 300 or an L-39 jet fighter! You can check out this event in the SKYDIVE section of this web-site or simply click the link provided below...

For my second time in my life, I was able to fly aboard an L-39 fighter jet at Airglades Airport in Clewiston, Florida during the Everglades Skydiving Boogie 2008! On this flight, a unique POV concept was used, and the video is there to prove it! The video is finished, and is also available at the link provided for it below.



Several pictures of the flight (along with those from a similar flight at WFFC in 2006) have been posted in the FLYING section of this web site. See what it's like to buzz clouds and come within 15 feet of the ground at over 300-knots while nearly passing out with over 6 G's of force pressing on you!
