Clue/Question:  The delays at the skydiving school were a result of – – –

Answer:  FALLING BEHIND

(Still . . . so much better than falling in front of the plane!  Those pesky propellers!  Skydiving is definitely an adrenaline rush though.  Just don’t scream “Geronimo”, or anything for that matter, as soon as you jump out of the plane.  The cold air rushing in dries out your mouth in an instant!  Wait until you’ve pulled the cord before you scream out.  I learned the hard way.

None of today’s clue words were new, yet three of the jumbles do appear to be so.  We’ve definitely seen “llogab” some time in the past.  I saw them all right away, again.  The answer letter layout was a great 13-letter jumble.  It disguised the final answer very well.  I can see how some might have struggled to get today’s final answer.

Great cartoon of the skydiving school’s airstrip.  The plane looks very similar to the one I went up in.  The control tower, windsock, and hangar in the background helped set the scene.  The skydivers look very disappointed.  If the mechanic called in sick, I wonder who that is working on the plane?!!  Great Friday Jumble!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
