![]() First AFF jump was done early Saturday and I was impressed by the level of attention to safety and instruction. I attended AFF ground school on Friday night which was professionally done in a well equipped classroom. She kept me updated through emails with course info, directions and tips. Rachel set me up with a tandem jump and AFF course. I'm a returning jumper after a 28 year layoff.

They even sang happy birthday to her in the plane.

After several hours of calling around and searching Google, I found Mike was the only person willing and able to take a sixteen year old on a tandem. We promised our oldest daughter that we would take her skydiving when she turned sixteen, assuming static line was still in vogue. I got married (met my wife skydiving), had four kids and fell out of skydiving. He would bring the king air down for Boogies several times a year. ![]() I met Mike 20 years ago at Gold Coast skydivers in Moss Point Mississippi. ![]()
