On this episode of WazzyCircus Radio, I sit down with my longtime friend and colleague, Anthony deGreef—an elite canopy pilot, military and civilian skydiving instructor, tandem master, and former indoor skydiving instructor at the legendary **Flyaway Las Vegas**. With more than **14,000 skydives** and **31 years in the sport**, Anthony has spent a lifetime mastering the air, developing other flyers, and operating at the highest levels of both military and civilian skydiving. Anthony also runs **Jump at Life**, a nonprofit organization that pays for and participates in skydives with terminally ill individuals, helping them experience the freedom of flight and fulfill a final dream while they still can. We talk canopy flight, instruction, the evolution of the sport, the early days of indoor skydiving, and the lessons that can only be earned through three decades of experience. This is more than an interview with a world-class skydiver. It is a conversation with a trusted friend, respected instructor, compassionate leader, and true veteran of human flight. Come hang with us and discover what **14,000 jumps, 31 years in the sky, and a life dedicated to helping others fly** can teach you. Step right up—the circus is open!
My name is WazzyCircus. I have been blessed with more than 6,000 skydives and over 21 years of experience exploring the world of human flight. WazzyCircus Radio is where I sit down with the extraordinary people I have met throughout more than two decades in the air—skydivers, BASE jumpers, speed flyers, paramotor pilots, airplane pilots, innovators, pioneers, and adventurers who refuse to live with both feet planted firmly on the ground. Together, we share the stories, lessons, risks, triumphs, and unforgettable moments that define the flying community—and explore the deeper question that connects us all: Why do we fly?
