Bill Booth's 50th Anniversary Jump

Recommended Posts

On February 21, 1965 I made my first jump. 50 years later, on February 21, 2015, I want to celebrate by forming a "50" formation over Skydive Deland. We are also going to jump some old PC's we have. So, if you have an old canopy (1:1, LO-PO, PC, Delta II, Paradacyl, Para-Plane or Strato Star, and want to get on the old folks load (it's FREE), call UPT (386) 736-7589 and let us know. Bar-be-que and old PROJECTED Carl Boenish movies are also in the mix.

Bill,
Congratulations!! I'm sure that was a big day for you but it was a big day for the sport, too. Thanks for everything you've done for the sport and for everything you did or tried to do for me. I should've appreciated it more at the time.
Again, congratulations from a not quite college classmate but your friend never the less.

Niki;

I wouldn't be where I am today (chuckle) without all those test jumps you did on stuff no one else would jump.




'Having worked with and jumped with Bob, I couldn't help but have a good laugh when I read that!! Bob, I'll be in NC for St. Patrick's Day the "Reading of the 'Names'" at Big Harry's Tavern. I'll be in touch.

Have fun tomorrow, Bill. Wish I could be there.

When I look back on my own skydiving career I realize the three most important things have been the throw-out pilot chute, the 3-Ring release, and woman. And without the former two there would have been a lot less of the latter.

Hi Nick,
'Still a month till St. Pat's day 17MAR, "Green Beer!!!" "The Reading of the 'Names'" a tradition at "Big Harry's" every St Pat's Day,Paul "Big Harry" would put an old fashioned "Irish Wake" in memory of all his(and our) friends and patrons that have passed on. Paul would take the stage with "the List" and Peanut,Paul's drummer, would ring the bell behind the bar when a name is read. My late wife Peggy's name is on the list. I will be there.
For anyone in the Fayetteville NC area, "Big Harry's" 3030 Ft. Bragg Rd. across the street from the Cadillac Ranch.

"Interesting observation" about the sport!! I concur.

***Where's the pics ? where's the video ? :o



All over Facebook...;)

Hi Mr T

Glad to see I wasn't the only peep that was confused:P

A clicky to the Pics and video in "Da Book" would be adequate and solve the failure to communicate.

At least we wouldn't have to register in Da Book.

But that's way to easy and probably not doable;).

It is what it is.:)
Let me think about this a .01 sec. I could register if I needed to.[:/]

I'll pass:D:D
