This formation is a 30-way - count 'em.
George White Jr.
is pictured in the base (the inner ring of 6) at the 9:00 o'clock
position in all black and sandals (if you look closely).
This was a world record for jumpers over 60.
Jump
was made on September 12, 2003. Exit altitude was 14,000 ft. Completed
formation was held for 5.1 seconds (3 seconds are required for an
official record). While the group is know as SOS (Skydivers Over
Sixty), 7 of these gentlemen (currently, there are no women in the
record group, though there have been gals in the past), are, in fact,
over 70. |  |
