Sky Goddess

This bundle of energy in the red jump suit is Nanette Studebaker AKA  "Sky Goddess". Well that's my  name for her anyway. Nanette is one of my skydiving instructors from Skydive Chicago. She is also my newest paragliding student!

Throw this woman out of an aircraft and you will see nothing but relaxed grace and innate skill in action. Every jump begins and ends with her fabulous smile, a bunch of "WooHoos!!" and thorough pre and post jump briefings. Dave Cicciarelli is my other instructor but Nanette's much better looking so her photo goes here.

Between the two of them are a combined total of 36 years of skydiving experience and 23,000 jumps. Pros for sure.

SDC is a world class DZ with an incredible facility and fleet a super fleet of aircraft. I think that this photo says it all.
