I was the first of about 14 into the plane so I was the last out. While standing half inside and half outside the plane, I asked the instructor if anybody chickened-out at that point. As he said 'no' we both jumped. What a thrill! I remember looking back at that perfectly good plane and realized I jumped out of it (or was pushed)! :-)

Definitely want to do it again.

I instructed for about four years. Only one student chickened out - but that was before the tandem days. The students went out alone.

If you jump again, try to get another jumper to swoop down to you.
