I jumped with Blind John and Pat Moorehead twice at Lodi probably 20 years ago. One of my most unforgettable parachuting moments. I used to love watching him walk up to the manifest with his red-tipped cane and ask for a jump ticket.
Legendary.

Never done a tandem but as a static line instructor would highly recommend my students do at least one before enrolling in my course. My wife has done three, loves it. My son has done one and is hooked. Next step-AFF. JMHO Dan 1st jump 1971
