Visual Description:  Two parachutists.  One Gung Ho, the other Oh, No.

LAFAT  =  FATAL,  IDDEA  =  AIDED,  PLAACA  =  ALPACA,  REESOI  =  SOIREE —   Giving us:  TLADAPEE

Clue/Question:  What he did when he was offered a chance to skydive.

Answer:  “LEAPED“ AT IT

(Having the one guy a little reticent might have thrown some of you.  It did me, for a minute, or so.  Some of you English purists might take offense to “soiree”, but it’s become part of the vernacular.  “alpaca” was fun!  And, even “aided” took me a few looks.  The guys seem to be really paying attention to the scrambling of the answer letters lately.  And, that’s a good thing.  We do this for the challenge!  Right?  Be good, do good, my chilluns!)   — YUR
