Hi DK,
'Can't answer all of em but (d.) was not 2 guys, the one riding is a girl. Can't recall her name but she was out at Perris about that time for a while.Brain just kicked in, guy was Brad girl was Lisa.
(f) the DC-3 pilots I think the Guy was Mark of Mr. Douglas?/ and the lady was MJ .
(j) lady kissing the camera was Nancy Doyal.
(h) that scene appears twice and that was Sweet Sally (Wener) Callahan and tha guy in the white jumpsuit with the blue legstraps she docks on is "ME!!!!"
(n) cutaway/Lo-Po was Jim Tyler and that was a Hank-Piglet!!
I don't know about this "Ultimate Thrill" thing but originally that was "Freak Brothers Convention" by Norm Kent just wondering if it got a remake?? Filmed at "Freakport" and a few fillers from Perris and ??
Somewone posted a while back that Sally lives in Texas now. MJ the lady DC-3 pilot with the long black hair married Bob Butt from So. Ca. and they just reciently moved to Texas. Nancy Doyal passed away a few years ago from complications from diabetes, BTW we didn't call that "sit flying" back then, the proper term was "Freak Flying!!" As for "ME!!" I'm alive and well in NC!!
My Freak Brother # 1495.

Hi leks,
And the band in the Freak Brothers movie in the party scene was the "Booze Brothers!!" They were at the '84 FBC in Freakport. Good show! "Snake and Doogwood" I believe??

 I think I was referring to "SkyDive" by them by mistake. They did some sets in the Freeport hanger. As I remember Roger had them all jumping before Quincy. Pete the drummer graduated from Cooley High in Detroit in 1961 trailing me in 1960.

i bought the movie used on amazon for 5 bucks.. used to rent it from blockbuster, in the 1980's. that is how I showed my daughters what skydiving is like. my oldest made a tandem when she was a senior at AZ state university !! the movie is a great glimpse of jumping 20 years ago... hard core RW !! make no mistake,, those guys and gals were good ( as are jumpers today ).Wink
