Pinwheel Sky

Sky divers from 31 countries, calling themselves the World Team '06, set a new world record of a 400-way formation free fall jump at 24,000 feet over Thailand's Udon Thani Province.

How cool is that?

What a beautiful picture!

I think they're pretty dumb for doing something like that, but I think it's still impressive.

With all those parachutes, it's a mystery to me how they don't get all tangled up.

And, I have heard, all landed safely.

If only we could get the world's leaders to skydive together. Peace, love, and understanding would surely follow. Right? Right!?!?

31 countries and yet all I see is red, white, and blue. Interesting.

Yes, Cube, that is very cool. Where do you find these gems?

That is amazing! How cool that would have been to see live.

This picture was the cover for our newspaper here today. Wanna know why? An icelandic girl is one of those adrenaline searching people! Very impressive!

The only sky diving world leader (that I know of) is Papa Bush, aka Bush 41, who jumps out of a plane on his birthday...the only time Mama Bush lets him ;-)

I think you'd have a hard time convincing others to jump for world peace, but I can certainly think of a few I'd like to toss out of an airplane hangar... without a chute.

I can think of a few I'd like to fling out
