KEY POINTS:
Defence Minister Phil Goff will jump out of an Air Force Hercules over Auckland tomorrow.
Mr Goff will don a parachute and hook up to a static line in the Hercules before jumping from the rear cargo ramp over the Hauraki Gulf.
The jump is part of a visit to the Air Force base at Whenuapai.
Mr Goff elected to jump over the water instead of land because the training for a water jump was not as intensive, a spokesman said.
