Rick Poplinger helped make the Sky Seekers II event happen. Skydivers who gathered from around the world jumped from military C-130 planes over the pyramids in Egypt. Rick (pictured in the black and white jumpsuit) is a member of SOS – Skydivers over 60 – and has been involved in more than 2,400 jumps. For this event, he was the load organizer; he put together the groups and placed them in the correct order in the plane for a safe exit. Rick holds 11 age-specific world records.
