Barbara Risch was the third Risch sister...I was her First Jump Instructor. Such fun days!!!

Wow, this is sad news. Joan E was one of the finest AFF Instructors I ever had the honor of working with. I worked with her at Paso Robles and Madera, and I know she was a long time Instructor at Cal City. Blue Skies Joan E.

Bob's last skydive, December 9, 2023 at Perris Valley. Bob and Kliff can now continue their 35-year plus discussion about house hunting...

Long-time skydiver Bob Boreman, 84, passed away in Los Angeles, CA on March 21, 2023 from acute leukemia. Bob began jumping in the 1960s and was the recipient of SCR-80. He jumped throughout Southern California with the Wuest Ways and the Costarison Farms events. Bob was an accomplished artist, musician, surfer and hang glider pilot. He also owned and flew his own airplane. Details for a May 2023 memorial will be posted.

Wow, stumbled on this site just tonight, May 25, 2020. Brings back great memories of Paso and Star Farms. Did my ICC there in 1989, and did bunches of AFF afterwards with Dave Hughes, Raff, Josh, Mike Badnarik. Kevin the Video Guy would make animal signs with his hands during the AFF dives, the shadows reflected off the students' rigs!. I was Barbara Risch's (of the Risch Girls) first-jump instructor. Once our group was in freefall near big cumulus clouds, and a big double rainbow was visible to the east (on video it shows as a simple gold flash). The tragic accidents (Al Stephens tandem; plane crash with Dan Daugherty and others), got it closed down. However, I've heard rumors of Star Farm's Reunions... Mike McCarthy

Sorry to hear this news, was thinking of him, Linda and the rest of the gang at the Deli Lounge years ago. Made lots of skydives with Flash at Elsinore. RIP and Blue Skies, Mike Mc. A-5813

Little Bob was our favorite pilot in Paso and Hollister in the late 1980s-90s. We looked forward to seeing him show up in the mornings and flying us up to altitude.Quote The best. Mike McCarthy
