Raven Rock Flier Pinch Hits for Parachute Jumper

“Roy Liming, in charge of Raven Rock airport, decided to try parachute leaping Sunday when a jumper scheduled to arrive from Dayton failed to appear.”

“Mr. Liming, instructor at the local field, made his leap from a plane piloted by his brother, Ora Liming, at a height of 2500 feet. Liming did not open his chute until he had dropped about 400 feet.”

“A section of the field had been marked as his landing spot, and he hit the mark. The airplane circled him several times as he dropped.”1
