Boarder's SkyDiving Experience

Report on Sky Diving Experience by Emily.

It was a great experience going to Hinton Airfield. We left at about 2.00pm and it was a lovely day. When we arrived a man called Glen gave us a talk on tandem  parachuting (which is when you parachute with an instructor strapped to your back). We learnt a lot,he then did a really funny demonstration with Mr Gray which consisted of Mr Gray being suspended in mid air.

Skydiver's Plane

Just after the demonstration we saw some people jump out of an aeroplane at 13000ft, which looked scary but very awesome. The plane that carried these people cost 1.2 million dollars. We had a look inside at all the gadgets and gizmos and it was very interesting.  Shortly after that we watched some videos of people Skydiving and it really made me want to go, unfortunately we have to be  sixteen.  After having some refreshments we went on a skate board type thing, but you lie on your front, we practised formations and it was great.  We then watched proper people doing formations, which looked really amazing.  Overall it was a great day and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it and it was very kind of Glen and the Grays to take us.
