OT: New obsession maybe: Skydiving

My son got me a gift cert. for christmas last year at the local parachute club for a tandem jump. Him an I went this past Saturday.
A little back story.
I did many jumps while in the Army Rangers both static line and free fall. Over 100 jumps both non combat and a few combat jumps but that was 40 years ago.
So this brought back some memories. We jumped from 10,000 ft with another person attached to our harness. Once the door opened all the memories from my Ranger day came back. The rush of air into the plane, the fear of exit, and the feeling of the air descending in freefall at 120mph. At least this time no one was shooting at me and I did not have 60# of gear with me.
Now at 61 I am thinking of doing another 25 jumps to get my license. I miss my days of pushing limits. I will see if I follow through.
There were quite a few older ppl jumping that day so not just a young person sport.
