They never took pictures of jumps in Jump School 1972, just the pictures in the class book. But I do have pictures of me when jumping with the 82nd. and my own chute. Lucky me, my friend and I took pictures while jumping. We had Instamatic cameras in those days, but my Instamatic camera got wet crossing a river in Panama.

Combat Jump out of a UHI at 800 feet, had no time to take pictures, 15ft of T-10, and 15ft of lines, by the time you were at 6 seconds, Prepare to hit the ground. Lol

I have had people ask how high have you jumped. I laughed, I've skydived from 13,000 feet. I replied it is not how high you have jumped it is how low you jumped something civilians aren't allowed to do, but a combat jump at 800 to 1000 ft. Why do I have a reserve parachute I won't get a chance to use it... wam bam on the ground...

One exception to how high have you jumped outside of my skydiving is HALO and those guys have one of the most dangerous jobs outside of deep sea divers. I am not sure of the record but I know SF have jumped at somewhere around 40000 with Oxygen and special suits and lots of things can go wrong with that kind of jump plus if they do a very low opening the effect of feeling like you are flying and guys have flown into the ground...

5jump.com. This is the company that does all photos for ABN School. If you had one taken they should still have a copy of it.

The site keeps getting blocked. Must have been hit by malware.

They more than likely have a Facebook page. You could try there.

Another thought if, you can’t locate the Facebook page get on the Ft Benning website and go to 507th and try staff duty they may have have the number. Just a thought.

I didn't know they photographed you exiting the plane. Maybe I should stop being a dirty nasty leg.
