377 20 #2 August 9, 2007 Amazing!!! I had no idea that a 307 was ever jumped. How did I miss this? Any details on owner, pilots, reg number? I believe the 307 was the first pressurized airliner. A surplus Boeing C 97 Stratofreighter was jumped also. I am told this took place in Florida, date unknown. It was the subject of a poster that was sold by gear suppliers in the 70s. There is still one flyable C 97 currently being overhauled in New Jersey. I am hoping for a miracle and the opportunity to jump it someday.2018 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
howardwhite 3 #3 August 9, 2007 The picture was published in September, 1962. There are no other details; perhaps someone who was there will rememberHW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
