bhammond 0 #4 August 19, 2006 yeah who really know what happend but I do know a girl that went to quincy and jumped out of his plane then wrote in her logbook wondering if he killed his wife "I wonder if he did it " then a few days later running into him and asked him to sign her log book... forgetting her ramblings, he turned to the page that was for the jump from his plane, he read the comlpete page signed the log and gave her a odd smile, she re read her page and about shit herself right there ..... quite funny even to this day janna oh janna Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbrown 26 #5 August 19, 2006 You can find it at skydivingmovies.com, in the TV and Movies thread. If you haven't seen it you might as well, if for no other reason than to find out what people are talking about. I jumped from Mike's King Air two winters in a row at Taft and always enjoyed the fast ride, zero-g lift off the deck for jump run, and the low prices. This story took me by surprise. Yeah, he was acquitted, but so were OJ and Robert Blake. Not sure what I make of it. It's sort of hard to overlook, but then again any TV prognosticator with an agenda can make anyone look really bad. IF the prosecution had such an open & shut case, they had their chance and blew it. Or else the guy's innocent. That's what trials are for, the state takes their best shot & has to prove it. And they didn't. I suppose anybody who's really bothered by it can choose not to jump from the guy's plane. You sure do meet some interesting people in this sport. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

NWFlyer 2 #9 August 19, 2006 Quotewhat did he tell his kids? That should be between Mike and his family."There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please.

Rookie120 0 #10 August 19, 2006 I have seen it, heard all the stories, jumped his plane and everything. Never asked about it. It's non of my business. As far as I am concerned he was found "Not Guilty". Had a nice chat with him at Skyfest. Really cool guy to talk airplanes with. I think damn near everybody with a big name in skydiving has a past. Roger Nelson has a pretty interesting past just to name one.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was making a point that everybody has a past and not to get to wrapped up in it. I knew Roger for a few years before that tragic day and never brought up anything of it. I was just saying that people have pasts and I usually dont all bent out of shape about it. If they are a good person to me they are cool in my book.If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
