Skydiving in Mt. Vernon, Missouri






In July 2007 the Wimber Family Reunion was at Beaver Lake in North West Arkansas. 14 family members spanning 4 generations, ranging in age from 5 to 86, from Modesto, CA, Hurst, TX, Wichita, Kansas and guests from North Little Rock, AR met at a rental house in Lost Bridge Village.





One highlight of the reunion week was a day trip to Mt. Vernon Missouri, where six of us went skydiving. Our tandem jump professional was Matt. The whole crew, from pilot to packer, was very professional. The plane was a tiny Cessna 210. We jumped from 10,000 feet which took about 15 minutes of air travel. The first 5,000 feet was freefall, one minute's worth. The next 5 minutes was "under canopy". You would not believe how quiet it is under canopy.

Age range of the jumpers: 34 to 57.

Cost: $200 (included video and still pictures too!)
