Give to pilots in need

Postby Rick Masters » Wed Aug 31, 2016 12:31 pm

Can you find it in your heart to help these tandem operators and soaring parachutists?
These poor fun-hogging humans desperately need over $151,600 right away.

Note: Tandem operators need twice as much.
Like this penniless guy. Please help him before its too late.

Gabriel Jebb (Tandem Pilot) -- his fun meter is pegged. Only your money can help him keep it there.
"My goal is $4,000."
4 donations
$207.59 donated
$3,792.41 still needed

Of course, the victims of soaring parachutists in hospitals can wait.

Like Bri. She also needs $150,000. Really, really needs it.

Her fun meter is at zero, poor kid.

These soaring parachutists may have laughed off the Paraglider Dead Mans Curve and the Universal Paraglider Design Flaw but they need real help, anyway.

Egil Wigert needs $150,000 real bad.

Poor guy. Let me share some pictures that might generate some sympathy for him. These were taken from video when Gabe Jebb was chasing me at Torrey. You can see his hand on my red jacket in many of these frames.

While hanging onto my jacket, Gabe Jebb ended up tripping himself over the guard rail around Torrey Pines and skinned his shin (you can almost see it in the second frame above). But when the police came, Gabe Jebb had them photograph his own skinned shin as if I had somehow injured him. Here's the police taking a picture of his "wound".

Gabe Jebb's father (David Jebb) is a former San Diego Police Officer. Somehow, even though I had called 911 to report the incident, they ended up arresting me. I spent another night in jail, but when I went to court, the City of San Diego never filed charges.

Police corruption in San Diego runs deep.
