There was an 88 man person jump scheduled for this morning at the Eloy airport so we went out to watch the action. (Must say "person" since there were quite a few women too.)
We couldn't see their actual formation in the sky because they were up so high but it was fun watching them come streaming down for a nice landing at the end.
Prior to the jump, we watched them practice their routine. Here is the pattern they were going to attempt.
In the afternoon, we celebrated Memorial Day with a big pot luck dinner in the ballroom. Mike Kersch gave a talk about the meaning of the event and Joy Miller described the meaning behind the table set for those missing in action.
There were some colorful characters in attendance.
But these two gents should have won an award for their colors.

Dressed in flag colors right down to their shoes.
While there was laughter and friendship.....there was also a moment of silence to remember those who served.
