"...and once you have tasted flight, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you long to return ..." -- Leonardo Da Vinci
This year I finally learned to skydive. I made a jump for charity when I was 17 and promised myself that I'd carry on someday, and experience freefall. I got the chance to do so with the great instructors at Parachutisme Nouvel Air in May, while working here in Montreal. I've now bought my own rig, jumpsuit etc., and done jumps. The 1998 season started for us on 26th April Nouvel Air, and it feels good to be back- I feel even stronger and more relaxed than last season, and I think I'm going to enjoy myself this year. If you haven't jumped before and wonder just why anyone would want to, or if you're a skydiver yourself and feel like a chat, drop me a line- it's a subject I never get bored talking about :) on this site
for more informationThe World Air Games took place recently in Turkey, 13-21 September 1997. Omniskore have got some good information about the Games on their site.
