| Here are some more pictures from the demo jump on my main skydiving page. On the left is Dan Thompson. Dan had more than a thousand jumps when I knew him back then. On the right is Leon Malinofsky. Leon is a lawyer (ahh!!) and still lives and works here in Western MA. Soon it will be 9,000' and all three of us will be over campus leaving the Cessna 206, being flown by my friend Bill Bonnette... | ![]() |

...and there goes Dan and Leon. You can see smoke trailing from the smoke grenade that Dan strapped to the bottom of his right shoe. All the shots in black and white were taken by the same UMass Collegian phographer that we took up in the aircraft with us that day. |
| Here's a couple of ground shots of a different demo jump. The person under the parachute you see above the horizon is my friend Paula Kingsbury, better known as just 'PK' | ![]() |

This shot and the one above were both taken from a window on campus in the Tower Library. In this picture, club member Al Haskins is about to touch down in the grassy field next to the campus pond. |
