I think he and Jimmy Davis did all the skydiving stunts on "That's Incredible" back in the '70's.



I met him out at Cal-City when I was still a student. seemed like a nice guy.

Was that the VW van out of the back of the C-119? Philly tells a great story about it.
The Van is still out in the desert. about 15 years ago someone came out with a cutting torch to cut out the engain and transaxle for the aluminium I guess. I went out there last summer, it's all shot up. There's also a safe out there with a false back that Dar did a stunt in. We came across the safe when looking for a canopy working for AERO.

Cal-City closed last weekend, but the stories will last forever.



Only the good die young, so I have found immortality,

Jimmy Tyler.
Yea, Dar started jumping at Taft, if memory serves Carl Staib trained him. Dar did his 5 static lines and up to 30 sec delays in one week end. He was a good guy, always had fun partying with him.
