Apples Take A Dive
Notch Second Skydive
Lookoutbelow
Nashville, TN
The Apples 2008 off season tour continued this week with another high octane spectacular at 14,000 feet above ground.
Jumping from the teams private plane, Apple 1, AGFHOF Don Bernitt and Patty Pender each recorded their second career skydive while being joined by Bernitt's father Dan who made his first jump from nearly 3 miles high.
Dan, visiting from his summer home in Central Pennsylvania, was all smiles following his plunge from 14,000 feet, the first two miles of which were a free fall at a speed of nearly 120 mph.
"That was a heck of a ride" said the elder Bernitt after the 5 minute descent to the ground under the canopy of his parachute. "I'm ready to go again" added Bernitt has he described the jump that came just 4 days short of his 77th birthday.
"You gotta tip your hat to him" said Don Bernitt when asked about his dad. "I know people half his age that wouldn't even think about doing what he just did." "I guess this just shows that the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree" continued Bernitt as he began the process of scheduling his next jump.
And so it goes, the Apples off season continues with another film for the highlite reel and another chapter for the book. What's next for the Apples is again any one's guess, but as is always the case don't be surprised when you next hear that cheer...
How bout them Apples!!
