| Summary: | Pilot, skydiver, professor, dean, Gordon Emslie of UAH [University of Alabama in Huntsville] / Madison Executive Airport, Meridianville / Gordon Emslie pilots planes and helicopters and has some 4,000 skydiving jumps under his belt. He's also the newly named dean of graduate students at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and holder of six college degrees - including a B.S. in physics and astronomy. He spends much of his spare time in the evenings teaching private flying lessons. Most weekends, he flies off to skydiving sites, often to Tullahoma, Tennessee. A co-holder of the world record for the largest free fall formation of skydivers (set by 246 people last July in Ottawa, Illinois), Emslie has also been known to land by parachute at UAH with final exams for his students in hand (this made CBS Evening News)... Emslie may have some photos to give us to be scanned for possible use...
