Someone else who did a skydiving trip said it's really not the same sensation as the "fear of heights" thing until you can see the ground approaching, and then it's over pretty quickly.

I am afraid of heights, so I have a bit of a morbid curiosity
Yeah, I wonder that too. I also have a fear of heights, but of all the things I mentioned above, the airplane is the least scary to me when thinking about it just because the height is so severe. I think I'm much more terrified of ladders.

Oddly enough, mountain climbing doesn't bother me at all. Go figure.
