fedykin 0 #1 January 6, 2003 i just did 15 coach dives with john and i have to say that he is by far the best coach and flyer i have ever met, and most important of all, a really good guy. if anyone gets a chance to get trained by him, DO IT. i have never encountered such a depth of understanding and an ability to comunocate complex concepts simply. world class flier, universe class human being Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenister 0 #4 January 6, 2003 Just met John recently in Eloy, a really nice guy. didnt get any coach jumps from him, but i did several with the AFI guys (Sean, Mike and Dusty) i have to say my flying skills really went up several levels because of it..i think they have similar styles introducing concepts and showing you how they apply. Xmas boogie gave me a chance to really meet some amazing people..____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

hookitt 0 #5 January 7, 2003 Alaska Jon is an Exceptional!!! freefly Coach. I've watched him several times with students and have picked up new coaching techniques every time. I seldom coach any more so unfortuanately I have forgotten much of it. He administered my Atmosphere Dolphin test Back WAY back when I had more jumps than he did, so I could compete in the first space games. That dude can Fly!
