My grandson knew that I had parachuted in the Marines and he wanted me to go with him to the classes at the local airfield, so I did. I never knew that he expected me to jump with him. I was 64 at the time and never jumped since the war, but I did it just for him. We jumped from 900 feet. I was kind of afraid, but I put my faith in God and whoever folded my chute.

@@ChuckyWright Wow, good going on that! Fortune favors the bold! Did you record yourself doing it on rollerblades?

It sounds like it was a policy that the cop viewed as a law, so it was crooked cop?

The Mariana trench is more than 36,000 feet below sea level. What you see here at 17,500 feet is just about (almost) half of how deep the lowest point of the ocean is. Insane.

Lowest point of ocean to date, we haven’t even discovered 10% of the ocean yet so there’s a possibility that there is somewhere deeper

[@Legendendear]

@@Meme_supplier Doubt it. We can pretty accurately measure the ocean floor with echolocation. The only place where such a deep place might exist is under the pack ice in the polar regions. But then again, subs reached these places... The 10% is true, but it is meant for the life which exists in the ocean. But we know how the ocean floor looks like.

As a PPG pilot myself, its not the height that gets me as that just gives me more time to fix a problem(175ft or 17,500ft you are a dead man anyway).
