Anta 0 #7 October 14, 2008 QuoteThe Parachute and It's Pilot and Transcending Fear by Brian Germain Happy reading Willy I second that. I borrowed it of a friend and it's the best skydiving "textbook" I have read to date. Well written and easily understood. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
