CSpenceFLY 1 #2 November 26, 2007 You might get a little help if you gave a little more info. What area is he in? Where might he jump? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 1,679 #3 November 26, 2007 To save anyone else replying, I have PM'd Sky Huminsky's contact info to Floyd.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XXXFloydXXX 0 #4 November 26, 2007 Thanks for the info kallend He is in the Chicago area last I knew. He was probably jumping when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Honestly though he has got to be one of the best people I have ever had the privilege to meet. I've got some pretty good pics from way back in the day too.

XXXFloydXXX 0 #6 November 26, 2007 Give me a few days to get them scanned. Yoda comes to mindWonder if he still has the pack lane in his basement? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gemini 0 #7 November 26, 2007 When I first met Sky on the big way circuit he commenced to tell me how to do things. I kept thinking who is this old grouch! After a few years I realized that he was just being Sky and was actually a pretty good guy. We have done some fantastic big ways together and become good friends even though he sometimes calls me Mike??? I hope I am half the jumper he is when I get to be his age! He splits his time between Chicago in the summer and Z Hills in the winter. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XXXFloydXXX 0 #10 November 27, 2007 I thought I had more pics but cant seem to find them. these are from the 1990-1991 time frame. A couple are from when we used to jump at the Gary,In airport and I think one is from a jump we did in Indy. One of the pics is damaged so dont mistake it for some type of growth Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lekstrom10k 0 #21 November 27, 2007 Where are his risers in the cheif2 picture? I first jumped with him and Donna at Three Rivers Mi in the early 70's out of I believe Branch's DC-3. I was at Gary when the Beech-18 bellied in on take off. The EMS cut up his brand new rig while saving his life. In the first picture the car in the back ground isnt that faraway. Thats just how tall he is. Wouldnt want him any other way Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbow 1 #22 November 28, 2007 I thought that name sounded familiar. If he jumped in Three Rivers around then he probably came over to Sturgis too.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lord, let me be the person my dog thinks I am. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XXXFloydXXX 0 #24 November 28, 2007 I emailed him at the email address I was given but havent heard back from him yet. If anyone sees the little old guy can you tell him I said hello and when he gets back north to let me know. I am looking to get back into jumping and lord knows he's put me out the door enough times I'd like to give him another shot at it. Those of you that know Sky may have also known my other CW4 Ric Olchivik (misspelled?). I didnt serve with him as long but he was a good guy. I was at his memorial service on crutches from breaking my hip in a car accident. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
