It is a most popular spot for skydiving, as the weather is almost always perfect. It is out of the way, pretty much in the middle of a great big empty.
The skydivers land directly in front of you, which makes for lots of pictures. And spectators are allowed to view the landings as much as they want for FREE!
The parachutes they use are far from the ones used in WWII. They are able to steer them so that they can land in a limited area, some on a specific spot they have chosen.
The jump from the plane at about 10,000 feet, about 7500 feet above the airport.
This first pic was taken while they were still diving.
They were about 7000 feet above me.
The pic is not a crisp clear due to them going so very fast.
I sure do love the insane zoom on this camera!
