The 400-way was 5 years ago today.

Recommended Posts

I don't post on dz.com often anymore, but Feb. 8th is a special day in my skydiving career...

In 1992 I jumped for the first time in Celaya, Mexico an AFF with just one instructor from a Cessna 182 from 6,500ft.

In 2006 as part of World Team '06, at Udon Thani, Thailand, I took part in a big jump with 399 others in the formation plus over a dozen cameramen and women from 5 C-130's "Hercules" form 25,500ft.

Both seem like yesterday, even though I've more than doubled my age since Feb. 1992, and almost doubled my jumps since 2006.

Best regards to all my WT buddies around the world!

Looking fwd. to the record being broken soon-ish!

Wow! It's been 5 years already? Seems like it just happened. Those were some fun times during that event.

See you out at Perris someday?
