Adria's Tracking Dive

[lewmonst 0]

Curt led a perfect memorial tracking dive at sunset here in Perris for Adria. The other airplane was a load of high openings organized by Dan also in memorial. We were tracking towards a huge brilliant silver moon rising in the east. On opening, we all saw what Curt could see, the bright orange stunning sun was sinking behind the mountains to the west.
It was beautiful, like Adria.

Thanks everyone who came on the Sunset/Moonrise dives at Perris on Saturday. It was absolutely fantabulous.

For the trackers, we had a relaxed and memorable formation that everyone on the ground was able to enjoy as well. After we broke off and deployed, we were treated to the most incredible sunsetting I've experienced at Perris. As Lew said, there was that silver rising moon, big as any I've seen. It was an absolutely spiritual experience for us all.

Another group, in their own plane did a clear and pull, cross country dive and were able to experience the scenery for a bit longer, with everyone landing safely. Alex Allen, the last cross-country jumper to land, dropped a bag of rose petals over the landing area before landing. Once we were all down, everyone seemed to be in awe of the skydive. A jump dedicated to the loving memory of our Guardian Angel and wonderful friend, Adria. Thank you for the incredible view, Adria.

Rob, the pilot of "the Shark" did a low altitude, "slow-by" over the landing area before landing, in her honor.

After sundown, we moved over to the memorial park at the south end of the runway and held a candle light memorial, with the planting of a tree and expressing our sentiments and memories of Adria.

Thanks so much and take care of each other.
