SStewart 13 #1 February 10, 2009 Long time skydiver and lifetime USPA member Rodney Holberton walked away from this. As far as I know Rod and the co-pilot are fine. Rod (nick-named Noid) is the son of DZO George Holberton of the infamous Beagle Sky Ranch in Southern Oregon. I have made many jumps with Noid at the controls. Way to go Noid!!!!

SStewart 13 #5 February 10, 2009 Yep, but I did not hear about it until today. This would have been a big deal with passengers but a load of cargo did not get much attention...Onward and Upward! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gonzalesna 0 #10 February 11, 2009 I sure as hell hope my camera wasn't on that flight! Glad he was and made it out ok.Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
