The fun of flying...'Unframed'


Flying high is surely the best way to feel good ( except for sad people having aerophobia or acrophobia). let it be the flips or cartwheels para gliding para jumps, or diving... all the feel good feelings attached to these are just cz u stay in air without support of any airframe, metallic, semi metallic or even wooden. But people who love these sports must be acquainted to BASE jumping...
"BASE" doesn't as such mean any platform in this wild wild sport... its abbreviation for
B-building
A-antennas
S-span
E-Earth
Jumping.
This is one must do in in my life's aspirations.


INDIAN MILITARY too is related very much to this sport in its practical aspects.
The engineers of the Military Engineering Services, who do jobs truely not for the faint hearted, are responsible for design, construction and maintenance of all works, in addition to that, the military roads, water and electricity supply, drainage, refrigeration, furniture, required by the army, navy and air force. and at the times of war demands and requirements of the military, mostly the ground forces, need to be met. These are the times when the army COMBAT ENGINEERS are directly descended into the war field with the required instruments. This is done only with the help of BASE jumping.
