ufk22 33 #77 May 11, 2015 jimmytavino I shared my "pre-second" Boeing 727 jump with Bob Roach and some of his friends from South Dakota... at Quincy Ill.. 1994 friendly and cordial guy. I was on that jump... It was my REAL 2ND jet jump. 10 way if I remember right, Bob was third in the lineup. I left 2nd with a pack hold on a low time woman in front of me. We flew down to Bob, who must have weighed about 290 at the time.This is the paradox of skydiving. We do something very dangerous, expose ourselves to a totally unnecesary risk, and then spend our time trying to make it safer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #79 May 20, 2015 jumpwally....sounds like you needed packing lessons and newer gear.... I learned on jump #5 that I could not pack a Papillion worth a shit..... Looking up at that ball of shit motivated my first cutaway... and I got the reserve kicker plate back.. it was in the ball of shit that was my main.

pchapman 279 #80 May 20, 2015 @ Amazon You were quick on the draw for the kicker plate and main to come together! Despite the round main, you would have been on 3 rings? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikeb 0 #81 May 20, 2015 Lets not overlook Tom Morehead, now 83 who just participated in SOS, and JOS WR this April. On his 80th birthday set a new world record with 81 jumps in 6 hours. And how about Bill Jones?? There are a lot of very active older jumpers who meet the old and bold list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #83 May 20, 2015 pchapman @ Amazon You were quick on the draw for the kicker plate and main to come together! Despite the round main, you would have been on 3 rings? Capewells..J-1 type...I was VERY good at releasing them since my job entailed teaching college boys who flew USAF planes how to use them for years... and by the time I was making my 5th jump at the dz I probably had 50 or 60 water landings under parasails equipped with J-1 Capewells. Oh and I was motivated.... the planet was coming at me kinda fast. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dudeman17 340 #84 May 25, 2015 This is a great thread, but I think it's cheesy if you nominate yourself. Especially if you haven't actually made a jump in years. Just sayin... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
