Navy Leap Frog Smokes it

Even though I was using a 400mm lens, from my vantage point, it really looked like this member of the Leap Frogs hummed it.

Guess you had to be there.

I'm now going with the flow of all the other sheeple.)

he was probably pointing out how zoomed in the photog got, so it would appear that the jumper is low and thus towing.

I am certain it was a sarcastic comment. But go ahead and ruin it with common sense, after all you have more jumps than him !

Why?

A photo is just a snapshot in time. It could be the photo was taken just as he threw the pilot chute out, on a perfectly normal deployment. You would need a sequence of photos over time to show that the pilot chute was in-tow. So from this one photo alone, there's no evidence to show that.

Because the Op said the guy was Hummin it.,,,is why!

It's not even common sense. There is no evidence to show that it wasn't a PCIT either. Do you really have nothing better to do John?

Okay, I'll say it.

Nice Pic.
Looks just like my old skydiver stamp for the logbook.

You got a stamp an of old skydiver?


I mean I understand if you just got it but when you were younger it would have made more sense to have a stamp of a young skydiver.



I guess if you buy the old one you don't have to upgrade.

Upgrade? Is that some of that new fangled computer talk, sonny?

Nope, chute opened fine. I just picked this photo out of the sequence.
