Hi Chris,

I would agree that it is a pastime that attracts some folks that enjoy risks of many sorts.  I know only one or two, and not that well, but many seem to be folk who demand risks in order to enjoy life.  My interest in them is limited to nice photo subjects.

I still think that it’s a mad pastime, but the kit looks good, as well as the 
aircraft :-)

As I observe and photograph the activities of the local sky diving operation, I 
can't help but notice that it is mostly run by women.  Although the present 
pilot is a man, they earlier had a woman flying their airplane.  These ladies 
appear to control the flow of customers and instructors during their Friday - 
Tuesday work week and keep things moving safely, smoothly and efficiently.

Here, some are already aboard, while a photographer with a helmet-mounted 
camera awaits his turn to get in the proper position.  Yesterday's posting 
showed the final group loading up.
