Are you sure that you want to know what I look like?

I reckon that this did not fit. No one expected a swan dive. I jump out of perfectly good airplanes.
With a C-119. a poor exit leads to thumping along the tail boom. Not good.

That is good form, if I do say so myself.

 

Damnit boy.

 

GEES you got guts Dan! What's that like doing that jump?

 

looks like fun dan!!!! where were you for the jump??

 

Cool pic's..... sure looks like fun!!

 

What can I say, I`m a risk taker. I did check the equipment.
This is on the South Island of NZ near Queenstown, Skipper`s Bridge.
While I was in the area, I ran a shallow, rocky stream in a jet boat. I did not hit anything, but power is to use. I scared the heck out of my brother. And he crashed airplanes for a living for ten years. AKA Crop Duster.
There is a shallow rocky stream under the bridge. It would not break a couple of hundred foot fall.
I just happened to run into these. There are more plus some cool sky diving and SCUBA diving pics. But I am not going to search.
tcBob gets the credit for the visuals. The superimposed Colts are really neat.

 

I`ll give you a better view.

 

I have lots of nice weapons. I ret. in 1984 and had lots of time to make money in between hunting, fishing and beer drinking.
I was transfered to the disability list in 1989. The old combat wounds are inexorabale. It is like stopping a glacier. You can only fool the Doc`s for so long. They have your med records.
How did the first jump attached to nothing more than a large rubber band feel?
I get a butter fly feeling about two inches below my belly button. But the decision has been made.
