squirrel 0 #1 September 15, 2007 so I show up at the Hesperia airshow this morning at 5:30 am and look what I go to set up next too...an AN-2! My trike is just behind the AN-2. This one is based in Upland, Ca...not licensed for skydivers in the US...bummer. anyway, good little airshow, the "Just in Time" skydivers did a great demo in the morning, and the "Green Beret" jumpers did a great demo as well. jumpers are under canopy in the 3919.jpg. ________________________________ Where is Darwin when you need him?

They don't have to be licensed for jumpers. You just have to set up an "exhibition jumpers club", issue uniforms (t-shirts with a logo), and you are set to go. 'Least that was the way it worked in the past. And you don't even have to wear the uniform to jump!
