It's been 6 months since my first Cat C jump, which didn't go the best during the freefall part of it. I think this mostly served to get me started back into skydiving again for the season.
Refresher training on the ground with Doc Larry. Jumped with Doc Larry and John Williams. The jump plane was a Porter PC-6. Pretty wide side door - climb out much easier than the C-182! And it's good for 13,500 feet.
Freefall didn't go so well. I was tense, had a lousy arch, my feet were up on my butt, and for the first time since I started skydiving, I lost track of altitude.
Canopy work was pretty good. PLF on landing, almost no wind. I probably could have stood this one up, but I was off on the alternate landing area behind the camping area. It's not as flat as the main landing area.

It's been a long time coming, but I finally made my first jump. It was amazing, and I decided to keep going. My goal is to get my Class A Skydiving license before my 50th birthday. Actually, before my 48th birthday, but "freefall-by-48" didn't sound as catchy.
