It was tandem and was captured on film and is part of the "Flight of the Dream Team" video.

The last I heard, he had a hundred (once again, if I'm not mistaken). Anyone that's been jumping for a few years should know Chet. Apparently the news outfit doesn't. What news was it on. They should be set straight. Mike Spurgeon Internet: mspurgeo@oucsace.cs.ohiou.edu
