I have followed Cheryl Stearns' competition achievements since I started skydiving in 1994. Most of us in the sport know of her and sort of understand most of her accomplishments, but this article really spells it out.


What I didn't know was that she was a member of Civil Air Patrol. Awesome.

Thanks for posting. I hadn't heard of Cheryl Stearns until now. What a great story, and beautifully written, too.

Great article, thanks for sharing.  I've always said the only danger in skydiving is the ride to the airport.
