Peter Pastiva takes on skydiving
Peter Pastiva, a machine operator technician at Cook Vandergrift, had always wanted to skydive. It was on his bucket list. However, life threw him a series of curveballs between 2017 and 2021 that made it difficult to cross this item off that list. Nevertheless, he rose up and made it happen.
In Issue 2 2022 of the Angiogram, Peter chronicles his journey to finally being able to skydive in August of 2021. You can check out the story by clicking here. To see footage of his jump, check out the video below.

Skydiving was on my bucket list too. I ended up doing it for my birthday a few years back and it was the most exhilarating experience of my life…… and I was not that calm.
Well done to you Sir. Keep chasing those dreams.

Thank You. Good job getting that off your bucket list!
Love it! I went skydiving last June and am looking forward to doing it again. Keep living your best life and fulfilling those dreams!
Thank you
Peter,
Looks like an AWESOME experience. Being a pilot rated in aircraft and owned two aircraft, I have never jumped from a perfectly good craft where the propeller is spinning. I have flown an ultralight, and I imagine that would be similar to your experience. Flight is so incredibly challenging and so much fun at the same time!!
Thank you for sharing your adventurous story!!
Your welcome, I still recommend trying this.
What a wonderful testament of tenacity, staying the course! This is also on my bucket list, thank you for sharing your story, it has inspired me to keep it on my bucket list until I finally achieve it!
Your Welcome, At least try it once. Worth it for sure.
