HOT NEWS

 
Scotty has achieved his ambition of reaching the milestone of 1,000 jumps after a gap of 25 years.

He was prevented from jumping way back in 1982 because of an injury.

Following his return to Nethers to see his daughter do a tandem jump he decided to see if he would be allowed to return to Skydiving.

After deliberation by the BPA and a thorough medical, he was given the go ahead.

 

On May 23rd he once again visited Nethers, but this time it was to get up in the sky, rather than watch others enjoy themselves.   There was obviously some retraining that had to take place - he had never even used one of the modern canopies! - but finally he was skydiving, something he thought he would never experience again.

He did his 999th on 23rd, and then returned the following morning for his 1,000th jump.   Now his only ambition is to have the time to get back to Nethers again and continue with the hobby that he started way back in his teens.
