The Jumpers were out, taking advantage of the nice day, and a couple of other airplanes caught my eye. The jumpers pack their gear with care. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Packing+sm.jpg.html The jump aircraft was a Cessna Caravan, the best choice I have seen for this purpose. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Boarding+sm.jpg.html I was able to get a couple of images of tandem jumpers completing their jump. All of the jumpers were very enthusiastic after landing. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Tandem+Red+White+Blue+sm.jpg.html http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Red+White+Tandem+sm.jpg.html There were also a couple of other nice aircraft sitting in the sun. A Beech T-34 in Marine Corps colors. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Marine+T-34+sm.jpg.html A Cirrus SR-22, a very nice cross-country aircraft. http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/SR-22+sm.jpg.html Fuji X-E1 and Olympus E-510 with Leica Telyt-R 250/4 Comments and critiques welcomed. -- Jim Nichols Tullahoma, TN USA
