Stickman

Thora someone just sent me a link to this thread. I flew 111st up to Alaska with gary deb and greg. I was in the plane when she made her first jump in Arizona and new her well. I flew the plane to Junuea Ak and than turmed around and caught a ride back to the states. Last week I posted some pics of her and Gary and Greg on old school sky diving they were taken about 2 weeks before the crash. Reading the thread Jim Hooper has it right Gray Hannah owned the plane it was over loaded and so on. They were probably my three best friends and I still miss them. If you find the pics I posted the one with the flowers was the last one I took I was walking down the taxi way to catch a ride south and heard her yelling Stickman take my picture, i stopped and took the pic she ran up and hugged me and said they would see me soon. That didnt realy work out.

The loadstar in that picture was owned by Dave Columbo

ok you all got some history wrong. Goofy died with Dave Columbo while Columbo was flying his Barron they couldn't get a IFR permit to fly over the mountains due to the Regan Lockout of airtraffic controllers so Dave decided to thread his way thru the mountains. They died in the sierrras in Calif. Goofy never had a pilots license nor did he ever own a DC3. He was a a & p and maintained Columbos aircraft. His real name was Keith Skogheim The DC3 you all are thinking about was owned By Gary Hannah. He owned two of them 111st known as sky train and 29H known as Mr. Douglas. Myself, Gary. Greg Wirth and Debbie Skadding flew sky train up to Alaska. The right engine detonated while taking off of a beach with a load of salmon it was a one way take off with mountains in front and on the left no chance of a go around They had to turn into a dead engine with no airspeed. That doesn't work. They all died. Blue Skys Stickman Nscr 658
