Yup. Capt. Kittenger jumped from 102,800 feet in 1960. This guy's next jump is scheduled to be from 120,000 feet. I also suffer from adrenaline addiction...although age has cured some of it's effects.

Old school! I don’t think I could fit in my black and gold Brand X suit anymore... and I don’t know where my old “frenchie” helmet went.

Tell me about it. I have 586 jumps and held a D license. This is flat out awesome. Guy has some major league nads. If his suit fails, he dies. Anxious to see what happens when he breaks the sound barrier. He said today when he left the platform he had zero control. He’s going for world record set in the 60’s. Has my utmost respect. Stopped jumping 12 years ago when I went out from work. My body wont take the stresses anymore. I miss it. Just sold my 7 cell ram air canopy and reserve last year. :(
