90′s skydive
I found these this morning while clearing out old photo files. They were shot the week I learned to skydive back in the early 90′s. I will now try and find some more recent pictures and video!
This one was some years later when I went to Skydive Chicago to see if my mate Pete Stone managed to make a 300 and some formation.
The 3-way jump, with you in the centre was on Sunday 26 July 1998. Mark and I had just that morning participated in a 246-way formation which became a world record and was mentioned in the 2000 Guinness Book of Records. At Skydive Chicago. IL. USA. Mark and I were the only Brits on the record. Lady Luck was my plane ride, the only piston engined plane in the formation, a Douglas DC3, we took off half an hour before the CASAs, Skyvan, and DH Twin Otters whose turbine engines made them climb faster to jump height, 20,000feet. Rock on!
Pete.
