[Leica] IMG: Things are Jumping at the Airport

[jhnichols at lighttube.net (Jim Nichols)]

It's a beautiful Sunday, a little windy, but a good day to check the 
action at the airport.  I am still debating looking for a Summicron-R 
90mm, so have its stand-in, a Summicron-R 50 + 2X Extender fitted to the 
X-E1.

Morgan was out with her vehicle fleet, busily working.

The Cessna Caravan jump plane taxis out.

And takes off with a load of skydivers headed for 14,000 ft.

After 20 minutes, the jumpers are seen descending and landing into the 
wind, as these two look on.

Some bend their knees.

Some hang with their legs straight.

And some just do it perfectly!
