Cool photo and thx for the Accolade on the header!! FYI and general enjoyment, trek over to "You Tube' and type in the box,"64 Way Record from 'Ride A Cloud'" this was by Norm Kent. the dive was done a Perris Valley Airport in 1981!! I am #8 out of the "Orange" lead (DC-3) Plane!! Also, check this out too as the old "HERTZ" commercials would say,"Put 'YOU' in the Drivers seat!!!!" (No, I am not on this dive but the CO of the team Keith Walters and his Wife, Yvette, are "Good Friends!!) "USSOCOM Paracommandos Alabama Vs. Mississippi State 15 Nov 2014" Note at about the 3:05-3:10 mark the Jumper hands one of the Refs "Something??" "after he lands "ON THE 50 YARD LINE!!!!!" it's a "Football they will use in the Game!!" "Dig on the 'HIGH 5's" between the jumper and the Team Announcer" and "The Photo Op with "SANDY!!!!!!"
"NOW!!" For something a little more "Contemporary!!!" just type this into your browser.....

PS Let our 4-way dive segue into the "Go Pro beach Dive!!" Patrick Remington and 2 Friends enjoy a Summer time beach dive from a Helicopter!! Pensacola no less!! There is a longer version called Navarre Beach Jump!! Both are great!!
PPS In the Immortal words of one of the Forefathers of the Sport of Skydiving, Jerry Bird, once said when asked to describe "Skydiving," he said,"Skydiving is Having FUN in FREEFALL with YOUR FRIENDS!!!" I try to do that every chance I get!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Sarge,
YEAOUZZZAH AND KOWABUNGA!!!!! 'can't tell the DZ but it looks like they are jumpin' MC-4's!! #2's reverse arch indicates he coulda' used a little more of an aggressive arch off the door to prevent that ""Turtle pose!!" That's just one frame.... wonder what the vid looks like??
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!!
