Aero-News tried several times to reach the center for the story; but there was no one there who could give an account. We did get some good news, from the center owner's wife: the skydiver, on a solo jump, is improving.

[The Twin Beech, with PT-6s, was recently sold by SkyDive Greene County (SkyDive Ohio) to Cleveland Parachute Center. The FAA's database has not been updated to reflect that transfer.]
