I *almost* did a little, but wound up doing gliders instead. The jumpers always scared the shit out of me because they're falling through/near our landing pattern.

Indeed we do. Downwind, crosswind, upwind...yep.

Do paratroopers count?

They would. Sounds awesome man- wherabouts did/are you serving?

My first jump is one that still sticks with me. I've done 16 static lines now (and hopefully, will move onto freefall very shortly), but my first was one I still laugh at. Redlands DZ has a small landing area, and basically, thanks to what must have been a dead wind, I ended up landing in a four foot thorny hedge :D Haven't had a bad landing since, lool.
