    I had met most of the guys above during my earlier years at Z-Hills. I'm sure that there were many 20 + stars/formation made prior to this jump in McGregor. I'm pretty sure I was in several at Spaceland prior to the date listed. But no all jumpers on the loads were from or lived in Texas at the time.. Mike Branch NSCSA #7

    It was my understanding that everyone on the jump was from or lived in Texas, jump was in Texas, and it had at least twenty in the formation. I was very bad about logging jumps during that time frame and I have no entry in my log books for this jump. Per the photo, I was there... Mike Branch NSCSA #7

    No way would I ever be disrespectful to the L10 E. I have a lot of memories jumping from that plane.. I thought the subject was "seven five"? Mike Branch NSCSA #7

    At least now I know who my real friends are.... Thanks for sticking up for me Larry!! Never did say where!! I guess I should have mentioned that we had to travel to Deland. I flew out to OK on that Twin Beech. Drank coors beer all the back from. 1 year before my 21st bday!! The rope taught me well! Mike Branch NSCSA #7

    After many more looks, I think Charlie Robinson is # 4 with the blue/red jumpsuit. I manged to get the video to stop and it appears to me that the guy has a beard. I'm pretty sure I'm in the red/black with yellow securtiy pig/ french bicycle helmet. Not many guys had one of those. # 7 on first jump and # 6 on the 2nd. I think Walter and I switched positions.

    Well this time I'll try and actually type something. The nickname doesn't bother me. I earned it fair and square. Just as long as my kids and grand kids don't come asking!! I remember jumping a lot with your brother back in the day when we were all learning from the skygods!! Mike Branch NSCSA #7
