600 jumps/24 HR's!!!!!!

Recommended Posts

I'm headed for Greensburg tomorrow to be part of the flight crew for this gig. I don't have any doubts that Jay Stokes can do 600 leaps in 24 hours ... the man is cast iron. I only hope us pilots and airplanes can keep up with him. On the last attempt, it was aircraft problems that caused the biggest delays.

Wrong, it was a Marine that attacked one of the planes and broke it. The plane was just minding its own business and pow.

Besides, we needed to take a break, I was tired. :)Zing, say hi to Jay for me. :)

I was honored to have Jay as my IE. He is one of the best human beings I've ever met and the only person I have no doubts can do 600 jumps in 24 hours. He's like a machine. Go Jay! :)

Let me chime in about the kind of person Jay is.
After my accident in 96 I let my tandem rating expire.
After recovering enough to begin skydiving again I began doing tandems also. RWS found out about me and asked me to get recertified. Jay was the TM/IE for my area....on his way home from a course in N Cal....he went out of his way....came to my home, chewed my ass out and helped me get legal again.
He didnt have to do any of this....he did it because hes a good guy. Hes a hero in my book.

Airplanes + people (Marine) + parachutes = aircraft problems ... the never-ending battle against Truth, Justice and the American Way

I'll certainly tell him hello for you. Sorry you won't be there this time.

The airplanes for this attempt are one Porter and two PAC-750s

Can't wait to meet you, Spot! I'll be there "schmoozing" for PD and providing whatever support he needs. Go Jay!!!

It's going to be a trip! Bob @ Skydive Greensburg already (very unceremoniously) gave me the 3-6am slot. I'm going to hide!! :)

If you see someone cowering under a table, that will be me. :D
