The Long Drop
Edwin Fitzpatrick the State Manager of Victoria for CCH and myself had a deal if we delivered the System that we were working on for the last 8 months on June 30th we would we through ourselves out of a plane, with a parachute of course.
Now June 30th has come and gone and we released and rolled out the software on the 30th of June very successfully. Yes there were hiccups but hey what software development project does not have them. Not one of those hiccups stopped us from moving forward. All credit for this great success is due to the great team and their fantastic work.
Back to the jump. While most people wonder why any person would throw them selves out of a perfectly good airplane, I did it! No Nancy half hearted tandem jump either, a solo the only way to truly test yourself. and yes I would do it again.
The only disappointing thing about the jump was that when I did jump out of the plane at 14,000 feet the camera got way too much frost on the lens therefore all my antics in the sky were useless. I will however post footage of my pre and post flight shenanigans.
