That FedEx Guy you speak of is a piece of work. I know that king air he flies is a hot, hot jump ship.
Flew with/worked with him at the World Free Fall Convantion one year. An airplane pulled out in front of him and cut him off in front of the loading area. The Otter pilot that cut him off appologized profusely about it (we had a discreet freq to coordinate jump runs on). M M (the FedEx pilot) said it was OK and not to worry about it. The Otter pilot keyed up the mike and said he just wanted to make sure he (M.M.) wasn't upset. M.M. promptly replied "Naaa- M.M. doesn't get upset..........except maybe once". You could have heard a pin drop!
I never had an issue with M.M.- decent guy to work around, but God help you if you end up in front of him with a load of jumpers.
The murder in question he was tried for, is the second most famous murder in TN state history- second only to the assassination of MLK.
