Casually flipped through my copy of Perfectly Good Airplane while flying on a perfectly good airplane to hand-deliver a few signed copies of the book to a few of my favorite skydivers.

Of course, it was only after arriving home that I realized that I had forgotten to take pictures with them! 🤦‍♀️😂

Guess I need to head back west asap?! 😆

My first skydiving friend sent me a few shots of him at his home drop zone- inspecting my latest project.

I am eager to receive his review as Oleg is always very plugged into safety-related projects in the skydiving world.

Thank you for your support with this project and thank you to for introducing us via your Virtual Skydiving Center (VSC) 🤘🪂

Feel like inspecting my work too? Order your personal copy on Amazon today!

The book is back where its authors skydiving training began at Midwest Freefall (MWFF)!

MWFF mainstays, Randy, Christina, Pilot Phil, and Matt took a peek at their former skydiving student’s latest project.

…Seems like it might be DZO, Pilot, and AFF-I approved 🤔

Four of the skydivers featured in Perfectly Good Airplane bumped into each other and sent me this fun photo.

Love to see our community jumping out of “perfectly good airplanes” together. Hope you all brought your A-game and reminded your friends to do the same! 😜🤘🪂

What pairs perfectly with Perfectly Good Airplane? A cool and comfortable new skydiving shirt! Duh!

My skydiving friend, Hillary, just dropped a line of clothing for her business

Hillary- aka Hills- is a savvy business woman, amazing mother, and talented skydiver.

Hills’ brand, One Sky Lifestyle is where passion for flight meets purpose—skydiver-made apparel that looks good, feels good, and gives back. 🌤️ A portion of every purchase supports injured skydivers through their Benevolence Fund. Look good. Fly good. Do good. ✈️💙

Show Hills and her business some love if you are seeking some cool new skydiving swag!

Thank you to my readers for the support! Please continue sending in photos of yourself reading 🤗

The majority of this book was written in Dublin, Ireland during my time at Smurfit and it is good to see the book back in paperback in its motherland.
