Performers row
These military and military support aircraft (the CASA) were performers at the MCAS Yuma, AZ airshow on 14 March 09. The CASA supported the Military Free-Fall School who jumped in to open the show in the morning and the afternoon. The last guy (with the American Flag trailing behind him) was within 10 seconds of his planned TOT of boots on the ground. Amazing timing!

Since I only have a few more months left of this gig to look forward to everyday - and then the next 20 years of uncertainty - I'd say that YOU are one lucky dude too
