I finally attended the World Free Fall Convention (WFFC 2006) in the end of July 2006 in Rantoul, IL!
That's me jumping from an inverted Pitts Special (S-2C) aerobatic biplane about a mile in the air!
This is a week long world-wide yearly skydiving event. Just about every skydive discipline available out of unimaginable types of aircraft are just a few things a skydiver can indulge in here!
The DC-9 jet was there, ready to drop jumpers, for the first time, courtesy of Perris Skydiving in California. This is pretty much a 4-minute ride to over 15,000 feet and an exit out the back at well over 200 MPH - Bam!!
The WFFC footage is also contained in mt web page for skydiving and you can see it by clicking the link below...

You can also get a ride in one of these at the WFFC for a generous "donation"! Take a spin in an L-39 fighter jet! I did!
