Hi Case
I can only repeat what she said to me , as I am not a deep air fan , it 
stuck in my mind.If she was talking too fast and did not realize what she 
had said I cannot help it.There are others I have heard that have done both 
of those wrecks with him on air , what he breath I don't know only that 
they said they were on air.
It has been less than 2 years for her , she called me in May of 98.So if 
I'm wrong how would I know that date and I bet its close to the date of her 
class , that is if  we are talking about the same Karen.
