Follow WTOP's Man About Town Bob Madigan as he gets out and about.

AUTOPLAY 
WTOP's Hillary Howard and Man About Town Bob Madigan hosted the D.C. Newsbabes Bash for Breast Cancer May 17, 2011. It was produced by WUSA's Angie Goff. The featured speakers, seen the front row, were DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, ambassador Nancy Brinker and Fox's Jennifer Griffin. Schultz and Griffin are survivors. Also seen in the front row is Hillary Howard.
Just as the chute deploys and the free fall ends videographer Staff Sgt. Brian Schnell captures the moment. WTOP's Man About Town Bob Madigan is attached to Golden Knight's team leader Sgt. First Class Billie Van Soelen who is realizing that Bob really need to go a diet. The exaggerated paunch is distended because for this maneuver Bob has to keep his back arched. However, he is one of the heaviest Soelen has taken on a tandem dive. At the end, Soelen is totally exhausted. Interestingly enough, he doesn't ask Bob to jump again.
The U.S. Army Golden Knights parachute tandem team gave WTOP's Man About Town Bob Madigan the thrill of a life time. Teethered to team leader Sgt. First Class Class Billie Van Soelen, Bob makes a 120-mph free fall from 14,500 feet above Orange, Va.
