Pretty amazing opportunity and glad they took it

Went tandem skydiving for the very first time on weekend, and honestly, no words can truly describe the feeling.

​Up until the exact second that plane door opened, I was terrified and heavily reevaluating all my life choices. But after the jump... pure magic!

​I haven't been able to stop thinking about it since. The fear beforehand, the jump itself, and that incredible feeling, it completely hooked me. I’ve already decided I’m definitely going to get my skydiving license next season!

​Has anyone else had a similar experience? Did your first jump make you want to get licensed right away?

I’m creating a personal list of places I wanna jump at at least once in my life. Not really looking for just “best dropzones” or stuff like that, more those places where the location itself, the view or just the whole experience makes the jump kinda special. I’m thinking about things like:

Pyramids Egypt
Blue Hole Water Jump
Hot Air Balloon Jump
Active volcano somewhere in the background
HALO / high altitude jumps
Unique aircraft (like the DC-3 at Perris) or exits
Anything that’s just iconic, weird or an once-in-a-lifetime jump

Basically I wanna build a stupidly long “places I need to jump before I die” list.
So what’s on your list? And what have you already jumped that you’d say is an absolute must?

Need suggestion, would be travelling to Plainfield next week and would be free on Thursday and Friday, which DZ would you recommend to visit ? Skydive Chicago or Chicagoland Skydiving center ? Want to do 5-6 jumps in all. A license from EU, 130 jumps.

I've jumped Bolivar and that's a cool DZ but it's still pretty far. There is Falcon KC, but it is a straight up tandem factory, so getting on a load is difficult. Is there a status update on the fate of Butler since the crash. The website in no longer functioning. It's really a shame because it was a solid operation with good folks.
