[redacted] Skyjacker - But [redacted] When you say em they "sound alike." the [redacted] lives (according to the Pres. [off] phone Book) Whatever [redacted] is?) I guess? I looked it up in the Phone Book - But it is not a mobile [redacted] I hadn't even thought about the wrong numbers calls I keep getting - till my phone rang this morning. Co-incidence huh.
Most probably the guy [guess: home's] initials Being "similar" don't mean [guess: Bowers] either. But it is odd! maybe the guy you're seeking is related to this [redacted]

Thrown [guess: thusly] at that 196 mph speed the air density - [guess: and the] [guess: size] - [guess: holding], [guess: Dry] [guess: by a], [guess: you] may be anywhere from 15 to 300 miles [guess: off] the course [guess: you're] [guess: figuring].

Its like when a pebble is dropped into a pool - with ever widening ripples. Did that guy take all 4 chutes with him or just the one? At 10,000 ft a guy [guess: gets] the bends without oxygen if (over)

he doesn't freeze to death 1st. I know a [guess: divorcee] in Tucson in & of course I got stuck 1st testing over the [guess: hrs] have [guess: Desert] An Army [guess: par] force out of Edwards A.F.B. "Detail" It was freezing at 10,000 ft & hot as Hell on the ground. If that sky jacker [guess: Tripp] down was damp - his chute probably froze & broke [guess: try and] with [guess: even] find a [guess: grease] spot. March A.F.B. Riverside, [guess: left] last a sgt, out of a plane (dunno what altitude) & no chute - they have never found a trace of him. Hopefully he died before he hit. Well it could be your [guess: configurations] you fed into the computer were wrong. The guy may have sky dived some few thousand feet too before opening his chute -
