Vibes for The McGowan

[bbarnhouse 0]

McGowan suffered severe opening shock trauma to his neck and back yesterday after the deployment of his reserve.
M2 had a pilot chute in tow and activated his emergency procedures at 2,500 feet AGL. He is doin' ok but will be out of the air for awhile. He is currently resting at home.
He remarked that this is the same scenerio as when he had his double mal in Pennsylvania

He did manage to crack me up....he was so concerned that his new camera wasn't damaged in the landing.....sheesh....camera guys

Rest well, Mike!

And don't let Betsy flake out on the massages I know she promised you

OMG, please give Michael and Jen hugs from me. Make sure the hug to Michael is very gentle. I just talked to him the other day. I always enjoy a conversation with that man, he points me in the right direction when I'm looking for answers.

Ouch! A camera flyer's nightmare - neck injury!

Rest easy and heal quickly, brother.

At least you'll have some time to get caught up on your CHiPs reruns!

Arrive Safely

UUUGH! thats terrible to hear about, neck and back injuries can take forever to heal if ever completely.
My favorite photo of myself under canopy was taken by M2, the man is just soooo good with a camera! Thanks M2 and wishing you a speedy and complete recovery.

Any info on reserve size and loading? Did he chop the main, did it the main D-bag come out upon reserve deployment??? Questions questions....

Raven 120 loaded at appx 1.54
He chopped the main which cleared as the reserve was deployed.

Sorry to hear about that. Fortunately that man has an amazing neck and will probably heal fast.

Get well soon, Mike.

Sending you and Jen love from me and Cajones. I hope you are back in the air soon!

Take care of yourself Mike, you're probably the only one of the old Decatur characters still in the air. Hope the pain goes away quickly.

The older I get the less I care who I piss off.

[PLFKING 4]

Best wishes, Mike....hope you heal well and fast.

I still think that Otter swooping the water at sunset is one of the best pictures I've ever seen. Now go shoot another masterpiece.
