Bob Buquor, C-450, is one of skydiving’s earliest camera flyers. He played a major role in the beginnings of star formation relative work.  Buquor photographed the first 8-man, was a cameraman on the early TV series, “Ripcord” bringing skydiving into thousands of homes across the country. In 1964, Buquor covered the World Parachuting Championships in Germany for ABC-TV; in 1965, he filmed one of the most dangerous stunts in the history of skydiving: Rod Pack’s infamous chute less jump in Arvin, California which Life magazine published a photo.
