Airborne!

Tyler is Airborne qualified, which means he is qualified to jump out of airplanes with the Army. A few weeks ago, families got to go to the Drop Zone and watch the jump. For a variety of reasons I have never had the opportunity to see Tyler jump, so I was super excited to witness the drop.

The airplanes passed the Drop Zone three times. The first pass dropped heavy equipment. The second and third passes dropped people. Fortunately everyone landed safely!!

The birds approaching for pass one.

 Passing over.

If you look carefully, you can see the parachute flying out of the back of the plane.

Again look for the parachute.

Heavy things .. not sure what they are, but they weren't people.

Almost down.

Safely on the ground.

Pass two or three.

They jump out of two doors, and from the ground it looks like they are so very close together.

More...

Falling.

Maybe Tyler?!
