TomAiello 26 #5 July 27, 2006 Here's one of a friend who I did quite a few jumps with, but not that long ago. I'm pretty sure this picture was taken before I was born.-- Tom Aiello Tom@SnakeRiverBASE.com SnakeRiverBASE.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
funjumper101 15 #6 August 1, 2006 A jumper by the name of John Carta used to fly a really scary looking wing suit out at Lodi in the late eighties. John was well known for his base jumping exploits. He died in a plane crash at Clear Lake, CA. If I remember correctly, the wings were made of strips of plexiglass, connected by fabric and screwed together. The thing clattered up a storm as he moved around in the DC3. He jumped that suit successfully several times that I know of. I should have taken pictures of him. Maybe someone else here took some. I know that a lot of the jumpers around then took pictures. Maybe someone will post one. That suit was really freaky looking. At the time I didn't have many jumps. I was surprised that he was allowed on the plane. Bill Dause runs a unique operation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
