    And speaking of scary stories; Remember Greg Robinson chasing the unconcious jumper out of the DC-4 and catching her over Coolidge. We heard of the save after we landed. It took a while before he could let go of her ripcord. Man that DC-4 was cool; got my SCS out of the 4. " 90 right, five miles then cut."---Pukin Buzzards

    Saw a show recently about airborne jumps. The JM was wearing a FF rig with a hexagonal (pilot chute cap?) Does anyone know what this rig is? Pictures? I think Kittinger was wearing one as a main on the long lonely leap....................J.............................. " 90 right, five miles then cut."---Pukin Buzzards

    On sun 10/1/06 Americas funniest videos had a tandem passenger that held onto the ac interior and didnt jump. He jumped on the second try, also on video.Where was this tanden video shot , and what aircraft was that ? About the size of an otter , low wing, all spoke english with no aparent accent. The landing was a large grassy field. Did anyone see and recognise the dz and ac ? " 90 right, five miles then cut."---Pukin Buzzards
