The jump was planned. We were a professional freefall parachute demonstration team sent on a mission. Thanks Pentagon and thanks U S Taxpayers. Some of my teammates at one time or another, have also jumped into Yankee Stadium, and to think of it- the Statue of Liberty.
NYC seems like this place that is a fantasy land to those of us living a normal life elsewhere, or more accurately TODAY, it’s a dystopian nightmare!
I totally get where you are coming from, and where you are today (in your head and in NYC). Also, the downrange in Iraq thing... counts for plenty in my book, elevating your opinion from others, just a tad. Know what I mean Vern? INCOMING!
What an experience! Did you do a lot of jumps?

LOL - there’s a commercial that comes on TV once in a while with that “alarm” sound that sounds a lot like the C-RAM. Every time I hear it, for a split second, I feel the impulse to hit the floor.
