Skydiver Luke Aikins Sets Record For Highest Jump Without Parachute

it was going to him or Andy.

this is one of my last jumps at the original Kapowsin airfield where both Luke and Andy had a hand in my training...

Luke is a great guy and used to jump at my DZ. A group of us gathered to watch it live and definitely were relieved when we saw him make it. From 25,000ft, a 100ft by 100ft nearly transparent net is definitely a hard target to hit, especially with all the environmental variables like wind gusts, temperatures, etc. This definitely makes me proud to be a skydiver, but also begs the question - what's next?
