As I step outside the aircraft, a natural smile overpowers my face. The sweet smell of pure sky is intoxicating. The view of mountains, valleys, and ocean lay dormant in the background. A deep breath of anticipation and we launch. Once free from structure, a rhythmic display of balance takes place in the wind. Pushing against the dense air, as a playful dance consumes our seconds of freefall. Then suddenly, the sound of an opening canopy echoes through the valley. I have dreamt of flight, and today I live it. - Jonathan Tagle View skydiving related photos.
