Little late on getting this up on my site but here are some shots.

Off to the Chinooks


the Drop Zone


Low clouds in the Morning postponed the first hour. Gave us a tour of RI from a Blackhawk


Geronimo!


Once you landed you were timed until you touched the Big orange X


Jump Master


GA and CT Chinooks were the Jump Ships


Thanks for looking, more here

thanks guys, you can't beat the access they give you. When I was in the drop zone you had to keep your head on a swivel or they would land on you. It was a lot of fun and I look forward to next years.

I agree with Arthonon, the jumpmaster shot is excellent. Looks like it belongs in Army Times or Stars and Stripes. Or Time Life. Seriously, great shots.
