Well, he tried to fly a demo. Doug Angel now jumps as a part of his Demo team "the falling angels". if you google it you can find contact info for him. I flew several of his demos. I also worked with a Dave Kopp in Farmingdale, NJ who use to have lots of stories about him and Skydive East.

who cares about any of this crap? Where you're from.. the legality of base jumping.. You want to jump the empire state building, jump the empire state building. The skydiving community might even applaud you. Ya did something you felt like doing, and ya didn't screw over another member of the skydiving community and then criticize the community for calling you an arrogant piece of shit which is what it seems.. you did. no?

As a pilot I know the Regs, As Skydiver I know Regs. As friend to many a BASE jumpers, I know Base jumping a little. If I lost my job because some foreign asshole skydiver came to our dropzone and broke the law knowingly and got caught I would expect him to be alienated, pissed on, and drop kicked off the drop zone. Jump pilots are there for the skydivers and with out jump pilots no one skydives. Everything is a pilot's fault in skydiving because the FAA needs someone to blame. Skydivers NEED to understand this. It is impractical to ask pilots who are there to serve YOU to know everything about BASE and SKYDIVING gear. We know about flying a/c. We especially those of us at busier drop zones need to be able to trust our jumpers. Domestic, and foreign.
