The jumpers have been enjoying a nice morning at the airport, so I 
stopped by for a few minutes with the E-M1 and 50-200 SWD lens and 
monopod, shooting from a bench at the terminal.? The jump plane taxied 
out for take-off as I sat down.? Soon, the next load of jumpers rode out 
to the landing zone and got ready for their ride.? Many of them are 
quite colorful.

This guy made it look SO EASY with a perfect landing.

As usual, there were tandem jumpers.

Doing a tight crop reveals the "passenger or student" appears bored.
