Now that would be an interesting interview. I hope that you get a chance to talk with him.

So far, this is the oldest I've ever been.

Great idea Dave! I have been facinated with the jumps Col. Kittenger did even before I actually started skydiving. I have watched the peice that the Discovery Channel did on him at least three times, and I would watch it again.
One question I would ask him if I ever met him would be if he had the chance to do a similar jump again for just the experience, not the science, would he?
BTW, thanks for the mention in the last show.

Are you guys going to take some question for Joe K from DZ.comers?

Lock, Dock and Two Smoking Barrelrolls!

hopefully we can get a transcript posted on DZ.com.....it would be great to hear some of the answers to the questions.

he took home three world records on one jump alone(longest freefall, longest parachute ride, highest open gondola ballon ride).and is also mention in reports taken at the notorious roswell incident as the red haired captain. also spending 11 months in the HANOI HILTON. after being shot down 4 days short of completing his tour.

this guy is awesome...cant wait...

doesnt he hold the speed record as well.

light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

thinking about this, this morning. you should have the Col. on with the guy from oregon that last week took a balloon ride in a lawn chair. since both main balloon trips it might be interesting to see what they have to say to each other

here is the link to the man in the balloon in oregon

oh and yes he holds a record for being the only man to go faster that the speed of sound without a vehicle

Just talked with my aunt, his friend, again. She passed along your email and phone. He's actually looking forward to the interview. She went on vacation with him last year and he spent over 2 hours talking about the skydive as well as his time as a POW. She said he was fascinating to listen to. Should make for a great interview.

I believe that will be confirmed or laid to rest in the interview. I believe that grew as a story that was not true. Fast, yes. But shy of Mach 1.

We are very excited about this interview. Mr. Kittinger has been on our guest wish list since Skydive Radio started. Many thanks to peregrinerose for putting us in contact with him.

Of course questions from dz.comers are welcome. I will start a separate thread for those right away.

One of my heros in life.

I don't care how many skydives you've got,
until you stepped into complete darkness at
800' wearing 95 lbs of equipment and 42 lbs
of parachute, son you are still a leg!

he was in grapevine texas 4 or 5 years ago to give a talk on his skydive / life. he had slides / movies from his jumps. he even signed my log book.
great guy and real down to earth guy...
