That's a Jerry Bird suit, isn't it?If some old guy can do it then obviously it can't be very extreme. Otherwise he'd already be dead.

drjump 0 #5 March 16, 2009 John--It looks like the 'developed' land of the old Spaceland airport. Remember the gun range on the south end of the field, across the street? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platydog 0 #6 March 17, 2009 G'day Phil! Wow - I have that photo of Cathy in our SPX photo book from the 80's also. Either I took it(?) or I liked Cathy too much, from afar... What's up these days with you and Cathy? Michelle and I are fine, kids 20 and 17 and all doing well, not many jumps these days. Those other shots I just saw of the dismembered 927BA carcass just spin back lots of great memories, depsite the lack of wings and wheels. cheers Aussie Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fastphil 0 #7 March 20, 2009 Howdy Dave, You may have taken the photo, can’t remember, but I love it. After almost twenty years together Kathy and I went separate ways; my loss. Most of my jumping now is lower level on a windsurfer, but the body is getting tired of that beating. I always thought skydiving is something I could return to in old age. Good to hear from you, and I still intend to get down under one day. Here is another Spaceland pic from early 80s… Take care Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platydog 0 #8 March 22, 2009 G'day again Phil Make sure you look us up when you get down here - get me on [email protected] Have you caught the great pics and things on Facebook over the last month or two? A whole range of photos from Houston Gulf SPX days, great memories and people. Kim Jenkins got is started, but it snowballed really quick.

efs4ever 3 #10 March 25, 2009 The aerial photo is what Houston Gulf Airport looks like NOW. Follow the back arrow pointing sub division NW, and you'll see it's GONE. No runway. What used to be open fields for out landings are all houses. Sorry about the FB link.Russell M.

wmw999 2,174 #12 March 26, 2009 Yep, sure is. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fastphil 0 #13 March 29, 2009 Hey puppy, I don't think the suit is a Jerry Bird, but that is Phil in the other photo. Below (pic) is one on my favorite angles of Spaceland... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
