davidlayne 5 #2 May 25, 2011 Wish I could make it! Super Joe was one of a kind!I don't care how many skydives you've got, until you stepped into complete darkness at 800' wearing 95 lbs of equipment and 42 lbs of parachute, son you are still a leg!

patworks 5 #5 July 5, 2011 Super Joe was a mainstay when Jan and I jumped there in '69-70. Jan Started there.

WGore 0 #8 July 7, 2011 QuoteDoes anyone know if Joe moved to Florida in the mid 80's? I don't think so, around 1980 he went to work for Hogan Air I believe the name was. He maintained a fleet of DC-3 Cargo planes in Hamilton OH and later Middletown OH.GUNFIRE, The sound of Freedom! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
