Dragging up old posts....havent been on for a while.Missed yaul!!!!!

Got a tonguer from French Quarter Alan Langhoff.....so nasty I wanted to go in!

Had the Handbury when they first came out...cool looking red velcro reserve handle with the yellow kevlar ripcord.Very comfortable rig in its time.

There was an article in TNT ( Truth,News,Trends) the month of the WTC jump.Pretty cool.....Wish I still had those rags.

Yea.That was John Cutts' LSU Tiger DC3......as I remember we did a 24 and 25 way one weekend there.Other names from Magee: Larry Hall,KD,Suger Britches(Nancy) of course Travis,Hank Porter,Donna Porter.

Yeaaaaaa....Good times at Magee !! Still have my toad necklace.I remember the flies were interested in it too.Nice to see posts from yall.Hebie Graves stopped me on the road yesterday and gave me a picture taken 1973 that had Charlie Kinlin,Richard Connell,Alan Cross,Carol Blount, Stan Hamilton,and Boogie man in it.Man o man ....those were the days.

John Cutts buzzing the tower at Hattiesburg after kissing ass to get to jump there in a DC3

Sorry yall....the king of the world was Sonny Gros!!! He even had a referance book on the subject.

Looks like Baxter packed that MOFO

Yea...they broke the mold on that mofo! last time I saw him he had just had a major brain tumor removed.hey what about Dudley Blanc from up there.I dont know where Dirty Bruce recruited yall from ....but damn yall were a bunch.

Oh Yea....Bubba and the rev were padnas of mine.I train retrievers for a living,and Bubba had one trained and worked with me quite a bit.Really nice feller.Jones is building homes and just built him a nice one .Both are doing very well. I remember we did a jump demo into a bar on the river,and getting into a gang fight.....Bubba yelled that his brother was in Nam...as he broke the dudes arm!!!I was laughing at that while getting my ass kicked

hey...The Herbie Hog had the pilot chute pouch on the riser....it was easy to throw out,and was cutaway eliminating the horseshoe mal...if it got stuck in the pouch.I really liked it because in freefall it was right next to your head easy to see and grab.Alot of closed minded people thought it was sport death....but they didnt look at the practicality of it.It was just "different". At least there werent people bouncing with a twisted bellyband like the wonderhog started out with!

Dem eyes were probably still buzzin fron the night before....Bwahhaaaaaa

Hey Wendy...Do you know the flying Henkel brothers? Darryl used to work at the simulator at NASA.Wild and crazy guys!!!

Man...I was stylin with a orange and white TT that had been dyed yellow,therefore making the lines and all the white...yellow,with the orange still orange!I was light so I could flare it(risers) and stand it up most of the time.

I know in cajun french ...frappe.....HIT HARD....I figgered it came from French.

NOOOOOOO we wanted pics of the girls!!!!!!!!

loved that TNT! More edgy than Parachutist.Wish I wooda saved them.I remember the big logo(full page color) of the "Wings of Orange" team.Seems like the rag lasted for a year or more.Oh well its "foggy" now.

Had one of those handbury rigs.Kevlar reserve ripcord! Red soft reserve handle! cool looking....never had to use it though.i believe it had R3 cutaway releases........

We did one in seventies Greg King and Greg Smith holding the hoop.We had 11,I was last out and gregs were waving me through at breakoff time....they held the round down to 1400 but I got to grips,therefore no number.They received numbers in low twenties.It was a gas for me anyway.

Damn...Chet seemed really old to me back then.....not now!!!

I brought my 32.50 to Southern Parachute in Aug 72 but they had all gone to the nationals.Fearing I would spend all that money....I buried it behind the outhouse in a sweetroll wrapper.I came back the next week and made my first jump.Leon Riche was my JM.

Who could forget that cool ole dude.I can vividly remember thinking...thats me... if I make it that old.
