lodestar 0 #4 December 8, 2011 Anyone have a list of jumpers who were in the aircraft? I believe an old friend of mine, Bill Burr (Moriarity)was in a crash in Hawaii and believe you may be discussing that crash. I'd love to know the details if anyone could share them.

pchapman 275 #6 December 8, 2011 I'm sure there has been a thread or two on dz about the incident, even if they are hard to find. I do recall reading about it on dz some prior time. Edit: Mind you, I can't find much more than what stratostar has already posted -- he seems to be the one guy around here keeping the memory alive.
