DYEVOUT 0 #30 December 13, 2002 Sweet Image !!!!! New desktop !!!!! I can't imagine the planning/logistics involved in putting together a formation that size, not to mention landing 300+ canopies at once. Some of those guys/gals must have had to walk a mile. ----------------=8^)---------------------- "I think that was the wrong tennis court." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nacmacfeegle 0 #31 December 13, 2002 Bivar. I don't know for sure, but some of the guys/gals who are in anchor slots for whackers will sometimes wear a ribbon or other marker on their thigh to identify the docking point for the next sector. THis looks like one of those unravelling. Can you see the red whacker at 7 o'clock directly over the runway.....and the whacker at 3 o'clock... In fact if you look real close there's lots of markers on thighs in there.....

jtval 0 #33 December 13, 2002 QuoteThere are more than one camera guy's below that formation.....I wanna know how the avoid the ruckus of break off...... Im willing to bet he stayed where he was... the middle of the formation opened higher. as they broke off the ppl in the middle opened in tiers. so that would give the camera guy all the open space by at least 1000 ft or so b4 he opened up!My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nacmacfeegle 0 #36 December 13, 2002 "Nac Do you know who the camera-flyers invited on this dive were? " Mike Mcgowan was heading up the camera team. The site is down now so I'm shooting from my alzheimer ridden memory. Bruno Brokken Gus Cabana Willy Boeykins (sorry Willy if I goofed your spelling) Wendy Smith Brent Finley Somebody mentioned ten camerafliers last night, so a pretty safe bet would include Norm Kent Dave Majors Tom Sanders The guy in yellow looks like Norm, but Tom also jumps a yellow camera suit....Or it could be Mark Lichttle, who also jumps in yellow, and is based in California.....-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

flyingferret 0 #37 December 13, 2002 Yeah Norm Kent was definitely on it. As a matter of fact several of the pics on the website had his name on it. I think he is the base camera man in yellow, but I dont remember if I really read that or not.

PhreeZone 15 #40 December 13, 2002 I see two on their back under the formation. One in white, the other in yellow. If its Tom... look for the rainbow wings And did anyone else notice that Bill Von's head is like 2 times as large as the people he's next to?
