Airborne Eddie

CIRCA 1980
The shot below was snapped just seconds prior to a random onlooker noting the airplane's fuel line was leaking. I was preparing to board the plane with my good friend and fellow skydiver, Tom Best.

“I once paid $35 to leap from the wing of an airplane featuring a faulty fuel line and a malfunctioning wheel lock.”
From Six Random Things for the Taxman

We returned the next day and hopped on the same plane - back when I'd dive into nearly anything. Now, I simply dive into everything.
