DivaSkyChick 0 #1 February 24, 2003 Betsy, That was a fantastic story on Alistair. Thank you so much. His experience with skydiving is why many of us jump. The community, friends, sense of achievement... This is such a great sport! Bravo. --- www.facebook.com/mandyhamptonfitch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #2 February 24, 2003 Yes, thanks Bets for bringing us another interesting person to learn about and to learn from. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highfly 0 #3 February 24, 2003 Well I am lucky enough to know this inspiring chap personally. Al has come through so much in the last 10 yrs. he is truly amazing. He is so humble about his accomplishments. When you first see him fly you are left wondering all the time. Look out for his free fly buddy swifty who is also an amputee in pretty much the same way. When these 2 come together as their team they are gonna be unstopable. 1nce again Mr Al hodgson has people talking about him and in a good way. Big up Al and the Langar massive. www.myspace.com/durtymac Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #4 February 24, 2003 Nobody mentioned his Royal Aero Club Bronze medal yet? "Big up Al" and to all at Langar who had the skill and determination to help him. -------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

bbarnhouse 0 #6 February 24, 2003 I am glad that you enjoyed the piece on Al, and yes Swifty is here as well. I hope to have some photos of these two from Greg Gasson this next week to add to this story. They are both inspirational to be sure but moreover, just downright great human beings. Cheers!
