The show was postponed until tomorrow. We have some ugly weather up here. It's supposed to be nice tomorrow though, i think.

Just got home...it was a pretty good show. It included: Skydive Fargo performing multiple jumps throughout the day, Jim Peitz in his Bonanza and Extra 300, Jim "Fang" Maroney, Stu Moment, Warren Pietsch in his Taylorcraft and Schnortenzummer, ND National Guard Blackhawk Water Drop, Warbirds including 2 Mustangs ("Boomer" and "Dakota Kid") and the B-17 "Sentimental Journey", and then finally after all those props the Mig Fury Fighters made some noise. After them Warren and Jim went up and did a little squirrel cage too. Decent show, on a beautiful day. I'll post some pictures later.

Was asked to come up to shoot video and stills of the formation record attempt this weekend. Had a ball and we got the record on the first attempt! (A rare occurence.) It was also my first jumps from a DC-3. Cool that it was 'Duggy', but it's not set up for jumping, and that made a few things kind of difficult. Either way...something worked!

Didn't get a chance to shoot much else of the show but it looked pretty good. Here are some of the skydiving shots:

Practicing the 'tight' exit.

Exit shots are my favorite really

Very nice Nick! Would have been cool if I knew you were gonna be there. Oh well looks like you were busy anyways!

And that first shot looks like a conga line going wrong haha. Nice pics though...
