ECU Homecoming Stadium Jump

Average Rating = 0.00/5 ECU Homecoming Stadium Jump

Final approach (if you can call it that) into ECU's Homecoming Game - Greenville NC, on October 30, 1976. Five total skydivers - 1 Paraplane, 2 Stratostars, Piglet 23, and a Piglet II (me). It may be hard to relate to in this day and age, but I borrowed this canopy from a friend of mine for this skydive; I was currently jumping a 28' 7TU (shortlined) at the time.

Stress Situation?

Average Rating = 0.00/5 Stress Situation?

This advertisement appeared in the August 1980 edition of Apparel Industry Magazine. The photo itself actually shows the result of a blown 4-way exit over Raeford, NC, but the composition did make for a good ad background. Ed Christy - upper right, Dave Mangis - lower right, Mike Griggs - lower left, me - upper left.

Paradactyl accuracy

Average Rating = 0.00/5 Paradactyl accuracy

Shooting accuracy on the wind dummy load, Saturday, June 3, 1978, at the Carolina Sport Parachute Council Meet in Barnwell, SC. I nailed the disk on this jump, but I was so cocky trying to duplicate my feat the next morning that I ended up collapsing my canopy and breaking my wrist.

A photographer/skydiver saw me playing around with my old man's gear. He hauled me across the taxiway to our 172 to snap this picture. I'm guessing about '76/'77
