Youngest J/M

Recommended Posts

Back in 1966 my Dad was a jumpmaster at Elsinore at the ripe old age of 16 yrs. He was the Youngest J/M in the world. Pretty neat eh?

There is a JM at Aerodrome (Richmond) who is 21. He started when we was 14 and is a Tandem JM/regular JM/coach/ PRO rating/mechanic. He has about 2200 jumps now. Yes...he is the son of the owner. His name is Johnny.
Dang good guy and dang good canopy pilot!

That doesn't sound too unreasonable mountainman. I bet I could pull that off before I'm 20 if I really tried. Of course I don't really want to. I think I want to leave the fun in skydiving rather than taking a lot of responsibility for people's lives that you probably don't even know.
Safe landings,

Didn't you say you are going to get your JM rating?? I hope not!! You ARE responsible for your students' life (indirectly). Maybe you should think twice about doing that!!!

I jumped with Rook Nelson at Skydive Chicago in the AFP program. At the time he was 20 years old. I think he just turned 21 recently. He had around 2800 jumps at the time I believe. He also holds the world record for the youngest person to make a skydive. He did a tandem with his dad Roger at the age of 4 years and 1 week. He's also now a world champion freeflyer. Not bad for being 21 years old!
