Yes, they should have been flying upwind, but it appeared they were not. Watch the video. They tracked to the stadium and landed into the wind.....without turning the 180. As a pilot, there may have been a reason for a downwind jump run...it does happen from time to time.Quote I still enjoyed the video and getting good press is rare. Glad they did!

Happy to see skydiving get a good review from the press, but sure wish the demo jumpers had listened to their pilot when the exit spot was announced. Due to the fact the spotter delayed the exit, they were quite far downwind and had to track back to get good opening distance. Never should have to do that for any demo! Oops......lucky they made it.....could have been embarrassing.

Quite a shock. I'm so thankful to have met and worked with Gus at a Z-Hills CRW Seminar. The pic of him, Mike Lewis, Norm Kent and me will now be treasured more than ever. I'll be praying for all involved in this tragedy.
