Is it a bird? A plane? A Deranged Angel? No...Its Snowbird!

Hello my hot and humid peeps! Our dear friend, the Snow Queen, abandoned her usual place on the slopes and took flight. Yes, sure she needs "candies" to get on a plane. Sure, the plane she rode in was a puddle jumper at best. Sure, she had to jump out at 10,000 feet, free falling to what could have been a big old splat in front of her neice and nephew. But did any of that stop her? NOT our girl! Twixie took flight sans candies and made the journey skyward to jump out of a baby plane, tethered to an instructor and with parachute of course.
We waited a million hours (ok 4) for her turn to arrive. She was suited up, with the instructor getting a bit close to her privates if you ask me! Then Jessie, a cute instructor who demonstrated the universal symbol for "have a good flight." We met Randy, her 135lb instructor and then they boarded a truck and headed to the plane. The plane took off and in the distance we heard a yelp from the Snowbird.
Then there was about 15 minutes of panic when I thought, shit, she died somewhere between 10,000 ft and the ground and her limp body would fall down to the ground breaking all bones in her body and I would have to try to get my act together enough to console the distraught neice and nephew. BUT THEN WE SAW 4 chutes open in the sky. Of course we didn't know which one was Snowbird until the scream came.
Apparently at 1,000ft your voice comes back! She screamed Su-San from above and then just screamed. It was AWESOME to see this happen. Snowbird ROCKS! I am so proud of her and she deserves all the accolades that come with conquering fears, and meeting your goals, living your dreams, and telling death to fuck off!
Go Snowbird! But don't ask to see the video as clearly video production is not in my future. The video is more Sky, Grass, Sky, Grass, Cloud, Sky, Grass, Sky, shake, blur, and less of our fearless free bird.
