I visited the local airport on the first decent day we have had all
week. 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.

The jump aircraft was a Cessna Caravan, the best choice I have seen for
this purpose.

I was able to get a couple of images of tandem jumpers completing their
jump.
All of the jumpers were very enthusiastic after landing.

There were also a couple of other nice aircraft sitting in the sun.
A Beech T-34 in Marine Corps colors.

A Cirrus SR-22, a very nice cross-country aircraft.
