This week hubby and I had a chance to make the 60 mile jaunt to Gila Bend, AZ. Our granddaughter is spending the week at an Air Force Facility there. She is a member of the Wings of Green of the US Air Force Academy. The Wings of Blue (Juniors and Seniors) were there also. All were hoping to get in a lot of practice parachute jumps - I fear it was a bit too windy to do as much as they wanted. We watched her do jump #69 and 70. Here are photos with her grandfather; packing her 'chute; practicing the group maneuvers they will do before deploying the 'chute; loading the plane, and, finally, coming in for a landing. Adrienne is on the demo team - she is hoping to be a part of the team that will drop into such events as major football games, etc.
