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?
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?
You quit much too soon.- Hide quoted text -

It's so refined and cultured to wish death upon someone. I'll bet Bert
has records of his jumps, unlike your many lies.
I have newspaper articles, national organizations and international
organizations that can verify my jumps. I even taught the current USPA
Director of Safety & Training how to skydive.- Hide quoted text -

Ever go to Zephyrhills, FL?
Spent many a winter and spring at Z-Hills, Deland was to serious. They
usually had at least three DC-3's with Casa 212's, Skyvans and other
assorted aircraft. My favorite jump plan was the DeHaviland Caribou. The
one plan I Wish I had jumped from was the 727.- Hide quoted text -

I'll bet we know some of the same people. Z-hills used to be wild,
back before the drop zone, now Skydive City was moved across the
airport. Back when you had to drive through the golf course to get
there. The Odyssey used to be THE place for skydivers to go after
hours. I've seen some things!! Ever been there? If you remember, the
whole ceiling was a chalkboard, and there was chalk at every
table....Roberta (Bert) owned the place. There and OJ's Oyster Bar
were the places to go. Ever been on Mr. Douglas, the prettiest DC-3
ever? Baby blue with blue tinted windows!!
Do you know Chris Bagwell rigger, skydiver and questionable otherwise?

I did my skydiving between 1987 and 1994, in the Va, Md and Pa areas.
Trips to Z-Hills often and Hawaii. Did you ever go to The Herd Boogie,
in Hanover, Pa? I don't know what was more fun the The Herd or the WFFC
really loved skydiving out- Hide quoted text -

No, but I know alot of the guys from The Herd. I do know Chris!!
There's another great skydiver and rigger I'll bet you know with
questionable character to the extreme. Scotty Carbone.

Bagwell was my first jump instructor.

Scotty Carbone that brings back memories mostly third hand, I stayed
away from him as much as possible.
