Sittin' on a stone at Ayesbury, England (near stonehenge) daydreamin' about that jump into lang brewery under a rainbow using Fletch's "coors" canopy that time I met Crista (my wife).

Malfunctions:

1 cutaway: Dave "fingers" Carlson packed me a horseshoe mal, I felt the d-bag hit my head, so I waved off and dumped and got bag lock...chop...chop! 1 landed malfunction: I landed my old PD 260 with a split center cell ripped down the middle undercell to the anchor point where it held, the canopy was controllable and wasn't tearing anymore so I took 'er down.

Most memorable jumps:

5) 727, Connie, HALO, and Bell Ranger Heli at Quincy; DC-3, balloon, beech, and Skakorsky(sp?) Helicopter at Eloy.
4) All my overseas jumps: 1 @ Latina, Italy; 1 @ Empuriabrava, Spain (sky rats); several in England while I was studying abroad @ Weston-on-green, Grange-over-sand, and Peterboro, England; and the 20 jumps I made @ Alice Springs, NT, Australia.
3) Hot-air balloon jump I did in Alice Springs because it is the only jump my folks have seen.
2) Lang Brewery Demo Jump with Ian (50 year old scotch, oh yeah!) and Dan Fairchild where I used Fletch's "Coors" Rig (love that lang).
1) Blowup becky accuracy jump at National Collegiates Dec. 93 in Clewiston, FL.(only competition accuracy jump where I hit the peas -- ask Bobby P. about this one, he may even have vid or pics somewhere)
