Elberta - Emerald Coast Skydivers

Some time in the early seventies, I attended a competition meet at Elberta, near Mobile. I have two memories of that day. Someone ran over the DZ operator's cat and students practiced exits from the chassis of a VW bug that had been mounted above the ground on a sawed off telephone pole. Sure wish I had gotten a picture of it...... Pat Moore D-1814
