I wore a Nikon BW camera mounted on my helmet upside down so I could look through the sportsfinder view finder. The plan was for the four to form a four-man star and then at 3500 break into a line of breast. However when i shot this picture we we were below a safe altitude. Breaking off one at a time I shot their openings. When it was my turn to open I was passing 1,000 feet. Immediately I waved, then pulled, but I had a delayed opening at about 400 ft. Needless to say those on the ground watching scattered. I was in the saddle approximately 12 seconds before I landed. The only hard day is yesterday! Hooya!
