Jerry Bird

In the early days of relative work (now called formation skydiving), no name was more synonymous with large freefall formations than Jerry Bird, D-3299. In 1967, over Taft, California, Bird participated in the first 10-man star. Bird was a founding member of the skydiving club Arvin Good Guys and later formed the 10-man teams Jerry Bird’s All-Stars and the Columbine Turkey Farm. His teams captured several national titles and four world titles. He was also a member of the Formation Skydiving World Champion USA 8-Way Team, . . Mirror Image.  In 1983, the FAI awarded Bird the Leonardo da Vinci Parachuting Diploma to recognize his accomplishments; he was only the second American skydiver to receive this honor. Bird currently lives in Florida.
