Vera had her last day of Vacation Bible School Friday, I went over and visited at the Robinson's while she was gone. Dianne was a little put out by my "Push Overs" statement yesterday, we had a good laugh over that. I made a list of Garage Sales in the Castle Rock area and when Vera got home we headed out to do a little bargain hunting. We had a great time, Vera found some nice stained glass Christmas ornaments and I got a parts box I looked at yesterday. I spent the rest of the day loading the motor home for Saturday flying and watching football.
Saturday morning we headed for the field after stops at the credit union, the gas station and Subway. The first thing we noticed at the flying field was a piece of farm machinery sitting in the middle of the runway. There was plenty of room for me to fly, so I got in a couple of flights before anyone got there. It bothered the others, so we pushed it out of the way and had a great day of flying.
Again today, we had some excitement in the afternoon. The sky divers were jumping and one had to cut away their chute again and use their reserve chute.
This is the fouled chute and harness coming down. It turned out it was a tandem jump, two people on one chute.
That guy is getting his money's on his tandem jump, it was probably pretty exciting when they had to release the fouled chute.
They landed just South of us in the oat field. It sure got everyone's attention, the people from the airport were over there in nothing flat to pick them up and then go find the main chute.
