My log book shows -1 s/l and 1 10sec FF student jumpmastered that day. Must not have been me because I spotted better than that!

I helped pack for Gus that day. In fact, he used a couple of mine. It wasn't long before we started chain linking the lines and stuffing the canopy in the container. No problems other than my purple 7TU's canopy got a few line burns.

Ed's wife told me that George carried Ed out on his shoulder, took him to the airport, loaded him into Ed's stunt plane after wraping weights around his waist, flew out into the Gulf, flipped the plane and let Ed fall out.

I think the burial plane was a C-206 with Dr. Ed's friends a bottle of wiskey. And, a chase plane for family.
