shibu 1 #1 March 30, 2013 RIP to a real american hero. I have read that the incident was due to a mid air collision during parachute operations. I have also heard it was a free fall accident. Anyone have any more info? http://www.nypost.com/p/news/national/parachute_accident_claims_life_of_hnemQQ4vgjNXtn8UrDuZ6L Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
