#1 I don't think that idea of the feeling of walking on air.

I had a hard enough time during tower week...and the mountain phase was just gut wrenching.

I don't suppose I have to give any details of how I felt standing on the tailgate of a C-130 at night in HALO school?

#5 @1 Kind of like the feeling one gets being the human weapons pylon on a "little bird" skid. With an insane pilot and a new moon.
