Why would anybody want to jump out of a perfectly good, functioning
airplane? Ask any sport parachutist in the world that question and
you may find a different answer every time. For Dick Fortenberry,
his love of parachuting began long before he joined the US Army at
age eighteen and attended jump school with the 77th Special Forces
Group. In his fascinating memoir about his journey to eventually
becoming one of the original members of the Golden Knights,
Fortenberry describes the rigorous training that led up to his
first jump and to receiving the coveted silver wings on his chest,
the parachute patch on his hat, and "Airborne" on his shoulders. As
Fortenberry chronicles the details of how he rapidly excelled in
the sport of skydiving, he offers an exciting glimpse of what it
was like to feel the wind in his hair, the adrenaline as he quickly
approached the ground, and the fear when his parachute
malfunctioned. "No ETA: The Pioneering Days of Skydiving" shares
the intriguing personal story of one man's journey in the early
days of sport parachuting that ultimately led to three world
championships and an appearance on the cover of "Sports
Illustrated."
