DELAND, Fla. -- The body of a missing skydiver was found in DeLand Tuesday morning.

Missing Skydiver's Body Recovered

Rescuers resumed their ground search early Tuesday at the DeLand Municipal Airport, off U.S. Highway 92, WESH NewsChannel 2 reported. David Hoven, 72, of Sorrento, was reported missing shortly after making his jump, officials said.
A witness said Hoven's parachute failed to open.
"I don't really want to go into the specifics of how we found him, but it was a difficult search," Volusia County Fire Services Lt. Phil Broom said.
Hoven was a veteran skydiver with more than 1,300 previous jumps, witnesses said.

I asked once. I'll ask again. PLEASE do not turn a thread about a now confirmed dead skydiver into an argument about police officers. Show some respect for a fellow jumper...
If I see any more of this I'll lock the thread.
pull & flare,
lisa

Cause they have to deal with the worst elements of our society on a daily basis. A person can only take and see so much before they see everyone as a prick punk who wants to kill them, sometimes they crack, does it excuse them, nope - but walk a mile in thier shoes before passing judgement -> My old man was undercover narcotics in Vancouver (mostly with heroin), and I will be the first to admit, he is one of the most messed up people you will ever meet - it's been a surprise to my family he didn't kill himself. I can tell ya, I don't envy them for thier line of work - the best advice he ever gave me was, "If you become a cop, I'll shoot you." (well, right after his teaching me, "Why you don't bring a knife to a gun fight.").
