“While doing a 6 way high pull, an unidentified aircraft buzzed right through our group. The jumper with the yellow canopy estimated that plane came about 100 feet from him. Our jump pilot was communicating on both the local CTAF and the Memphis Center frequencies. A NOTAM is also in place for this airport. We examined other jumpers videos to attempt to pull the tail number, but were not able to get a clear view of it.”

Sketchy moment caught on camera in skies of Memphis where an unidentified small aircraft nearly collided with a group of skydivers.  No videos were clear enough to pull the tail number on the plane in question but that pilot was either asleep at the stick or is well aware of his mistake. Thankfully no one was injured.
