The jump that never happened



The reporter and I spent an afternoon on base waiting for an event that was never to take place. There was suppose to be a parachute jump demonstration, so I got shots of them gearing up, getting briefed, loading onto the plane. We were driven out to the drop zone where some time later we were informed their was technical difficulties and the jump was canceled. A disappointment, but I liked these shots from the prep.
