Back-Tracking | Photo by Dawn Jacobs

Due to popular demand, “Back-Tracking” will continue to appear in Parachutist, as one monthly standalone photo. Please send submissions to communications@uspa.org.

Bruce Jacobs of the former Space Coast Para-Center prepares to jump from an experimental “Starduster” biplane over Titusville, Florida, in 1979. His wife, Dawn Jacobs, took this photo while flying alongside. The Kennedy Space Center (where Scott worked at the time) can be seen in the background.
