Yes, that would be a good situation. Would there be any wind?

Of course there will be wind. There is always wind up that high. The jump pro can control the parachute to account for it and still land exactly where he wants to.

True but I'm talking about strong winds.

You make an excellent point. I'm sure all those experienced skydivers have never accounted for wind and go up in any type of wind condition. Good thinking waiting for calmer winds.

AdmiralKird can introduce you to a group of people interested in it. He can even introduce you to a girl who's newly available.

It's not that. Depending on how Admiral Kird feels about wind, it would make sense if he didn't want to go sky diving in a 20 mph wind.
