BEV'S 13,000 ft ADVENTURE

Bev relaxing with our friends Butch & Karen at Skydive Arizona, and waiting for their flight and instructor assignments for a great Skydiving experience.
Bev, Karen & Butch (Erling) are posted to the flight board. Bev's instructor is Adam and they will fly on otter 15.

This is Bev's first flight in a twin otter and her first flight to land before the plane in which she took off.


Bev takes her first step out the door of the twin otter at 13,000 ft over the airport at Eloy, AZ.



Bev & Adam are stabilized in the free fall position at 12,000 ft over the Arizona desert.




Adam is pulling the ripcord with his left hand which will open the parachute and end the 7,000 ft free fall portion of Bev's first skydive.





The parachute has deployed from the back pack and is about to begin its opening sequence. Bev is looking out toward Tucson.






This is a great shot of the parachute beginning to inflate into its wing shape at about 6,000 over the Eloy Airport.







Bev & Adam prepare to land right in front of the bleachers after a great ride down from 13,000 ft.
