"BAR" wrote in message . .. The skydiver is the only sane one of the bunch. Stepping out of a Casa-212, at 12,500 feet, with 20 of your friends with you and turning 4 or 5 points. Dumping the main at 2,000 and swooping in to a perfect one point landing. Only thing better is the last load of the day dumping the main at 6,000 reaching into your jumpsuit and pulling out a beer or two and enjoying the peaceful ride. I sure do miss skydiving. Land on your head once too often? |

Land on your head once too often? Actually no, I never landed on my head from a skydive. In fact I never had to use my reserve, 1700 jumps all landing on a main canopy. Do you want to read the newspaper articles written about me and my skydiving? |

There was a crash of a Beech B-65 Queen Air in West Point, VA in September of 1995 where I lost 8 very good friends, 12 souls total were lost in that accident. I had about 500 jumps out of that plane. |
