I’ve never been on a tandem - learned with static lines so I always went on my own by hanging from the right strut on a Cessna 182.

Claustrophobia is an issue - when we went up, there were three jumpers, one jump master, and one pilot, all wearing gear, in a Cessna 182 without seats other than the pilot, and no one could move when packed in. I was first out so I was by the door. An interesting view sitting next to the door for the first time with no seat belts and no handles to grab in the entire plane. We were sardines.
