[airtwardo 6]

~and may never see again!



The parachute team jumped all seven days at this years Air-venture 2010...our 27th year there.

We put out a total of 60 jumpers, burned two cases of smoke and had over 60,000 sqft. of US flag flying for the weeks total!

A great show!

Hope it was the good stuff, and not that locally-grown trash.

P.S. Good job as always! I guess I had the amount of years wrong I thought it was 24.

An Instructors first concern is student safety.
So, start being safe, first!!!

How come theyt didn't have your walker ready for you when you landed? What kind of ground crew did you have?

I need to get back in the air.

So Divot calls me on take-off one day and says,

"Don't go in, you'll embarrass me!"


Nice guy!

What camera are you using?

And what is it you are doing with your hands when you let go of the toggles shortly before landing?

It's a Sony something or other with a 0.5 on the pointy end.

And I'm releasing the smoke lanyard and looping it around my thumb, I turn my hand down as I start to flare and drop it 50 feet behind me so the canopy won't get toasted.

Remember, I'm not a camera man...just a demo jumper with a camera!

Really nice pictures and video. Unless you've jumped out of a DC-3 or C47, there is just no way to explain the feeling. Can't help but smile and just feel good. Even the sounds of the engines makes the heart beat faster... Thanks for sharing the memories.

I just like the standing up and walking around room in them!

Did my first 30 second delay out of the Southern Cross at Z-Hills.... Thought every DZ had a DC-3! Really did take it for granted....

Ahh, the life of an airshow entertainer.

Didn't you used to make bat wing jumps with Burt Lancaster?

Really, man, that looks like a lot of fun. I haven't done an airshow in years.

That is really just too cool for words! Thanks for sharing!

Go look at post 4 again. Who needs a walker when you have that ground crew?
