Hi all,

So what is the current record?

Pretty dangerous when you think as the frequency of jumps increases so does the fatigue and error factor. Bravo fo his effort and I wish him every sucess in his record attempt.

Happening right now at Greensburg. He's approaching 12 hours of non stop jumping.

You just heard? Have you been living under a rock?

It's happening today, but I don't know what the progress is so far.

Yes, I just heard.....
Yes, I live under a rock.....
sad thing is, a newsperson I work with told me.
How many has he done so far on this attempt???


I'm so out of touch when I'm at work.

Final count is 640. I live in Indianapolis and drove down to Greensburg to watch. They had it down to a science, 23 rigs, multiple planes, several packers, and a shitload of onlookers and well wishers. It was quite an event to say the least. It was also Jay's 50th birthday and at jump 300 we all started yelling encourgement and they had signs wishing him Happy Birthday.

I got to do a couple of tandem jumps with Jay a few weeks ago. He's the real deal and a class act to say the least
