Obviously the fascination stuck. 3772018 marks half a century as a skydiver. Trained by the late Perry Stevens D-51 in 1968. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gemini 0 #5 November 29, 2008 I loved landing near the bleachers. All the kids would cheer and clap, ask for autographs. Some of the jumpers started carrying small items in their jump suits for the kids (small flags, compass rings, jumper decals, etc.) It was some of the most fun I've had. Like doing a demo on every jump. Blue skies, Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually what they asked me was what it cost to JUMP, not what it cost for a tandem. And yes, I said the average jump ticket price was 29 to 59 bucks.skydiveTaylorville.org [email protected] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
