Wow, that'll be an experience that she will remember for a very long time, and no doubt is one of the best presents an 18 year old could receive for her birthday.

I've often thought about going skydiving, but worried that once I got to altitude I wouldn't be too keen to leave the aeroplane!

There's nothing that quite says "I love you" to your daughter than throwing her out of an aeroplane. ;D

Nice pics mate

Thanks for sharing. It's a hobby I indulge in also and still get a massive buzz from every jump. Is she still talking about it? Bet she is

She may even have the bug...Well done. It is an acheivement to jump out of a plane.

Yep I'm a bit of a wooss.....

I will never leave a perfectly good aeroplane in mid air again.

It's debatable whether some of those sky diving aircraft are 'perfectly good'
