Hey guys,
This is how we entered 2016 with a combination EAA, AMA and United States Parachute Association enthusiasts.
We started out with 14F and 25kt winds with crystal clear skies this morning. Our group huddled around a propane heater outside at the RC field while waiting for our drop time. By 12:15 we are airborne with decreasing winds and slightly better temps. Fortunately the chute opened and my RV4 smoke drew a good line with a clear blue background. After my last pass four more jumpers landed and finished off the hot chili that was awaiting us. I ended up with Mary's rum cake and luke warm coffee. I heard 'em say, oh heck let 'em eat cake so I did. Those guys that jump out of perfectly good planes are a breed to themselves
I went back to the hangar, retrieved my Pitts and made several passes while the RC guys pretended to be in control. All in all a great way to start the year.
