Mr. P.'s Birthday Outing
Sat. 9-16-2006

 

Harnessed and ready to go........

 

Mr P.and son Andy (side by side towards the back).

 

Andy first!

 

My turn...

 
Falling at terminal velocity of 120 mi/hr or 54 m/s.....
definitely a thumbs up experience!
 
 
 
Canopy inflation at 5000 ft....
 

 

Now for a nice soft landing.

 

Newton's laws really work...OK!

 

Mr. P. meets back up with son Andy on the ground.

 

Wow !

Dropping coffee filters to demonstrate terminal velocity is great.
Describing what terminal velocity "feels" like from 13000 ft...
now that's a "teachable" moment.
LIVE WHAT YOU TEACH.... IT'S THE ONLY WAY!
