upndownshop 0 #3 January 11, 2011 That is the Liberty Parachute Team, so I would guess that one of those is Twardo. Damn I still regret not getting to jump with them at 2006 Oshkosh, missed it by 20 minutes. Uggh! Great clip! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Niki1 1 #9 January 11, 2011 Going to one of those is on my bucket list. On a side note: The shot of the Twin Beech in the air with both engines smoking, was anyone surprised?

skygirl1 1 #16 January 13, 2011 I learned to skydive at OMRO, right outside of Oshkosh. Know the Liberty very well. Private DZ. lots of fun and family orientated. The airshows are great and we always threw a big party and did tandems from dawn to dusk during that week. Cannot get better than that " Mean people SUCK!"

skygypsie 2 #17 January 13, 2011 It has been my Husband & my privilege & honor to have been ground crew at EAA '07 & '08 , partied with & have had the pleasure to have met some of the greatest guys, members & Skydivers as the Liberty Team: Twardo, Sam S., JT Hill, Larry B., Jeff 'Bogey' B., Bill H., Bill P., Chuck & Buck, the 'Swede', & as Lead Staff Packer for the'grandfather' of DZO's; Bill (Donna Marie) Hasenfus at Skydive Adventure,have had the honor to have packed for some of them, ( JT's main was brand new , so go figure, but he did call me on his way back to FL. to tell me it was the sweetest opening he had ever had ! ) & have had VIP Invitation to meet celebrity Pilots: John Travolta & Harrison Ford, & heard the music of Gary Sinese's & the Lt. Dan Band. Their yearly, daily jump in's are highly respected & anticipated. The DZ party's are excellent & getting together to meet some of the most phenomenal military & civilian pilots, & the FIESTIEST FEMALE PILOT Ever, at the bar's afterwards, is amazing ! Twardo...we were so sorry we missed you guys in '10. We came the last day & saw the jumps this year, but by the time we made it through the crowds to get to you All...you were pulling out in the LT van...we look forward to seeing you all next July !Anyone who has not been to EAA...needs to ! It is the Sturgis & Rantoul of Air Shows ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skygypsie 2 #24 January 13, 2011 A great time, we look forward to it every year ! We're having to make some difficult choices the last 2 years though; as fulltime DZ Staffers, seem to occur within a few weeks of each other: busiest jump time, Bear Paw Camping trips, EAA, Summerfest, Sturgis, or Couch Freaks The camping & EAA are just a few miles from home or DZ, so we get a day or 2 there, but this year we ARE taking a few days off to hit at least one of the other 'vacation spots' My husband's never been to Sturgis...I think it's time I introduce him to it..."

airtwardo 7 #25 January 13, 2011 I love getting away from the show and out to the DZ for some peace & quiet a few times during the week...I'm usually the guy in the hangar, in front of the fan...asleep! Edited to add: that's how I met Rev. Jim...he freakin' tripped over me, and woke me up! ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
