I took an exercise walk at the airport today, and was able to catch a 
few images.  First, one of the Vanderbilt LifeFlight helicopters left on 
another mission.

Then, I found a friendly young lady who was about to make her first 
tandem skydiving jump.  She agreed to let me take her picture.

I watched as the instructor donned his parachute in the area where the 
chutes are repacked after each jump.

And then, I watched as the pilot and passengers boarded the Cessna 
Caravan jump aircraft.
