After Mac’s comment and respectful silence, the talk about jumping continued. Tyrell was nodding his head in the affirmative. He took a swallow of his beer and then spoke softly, unusual for him. “I once witnessed some jumpers training for a night landing. It was just before full dark when I heard the plane, and it sounded like it might stall for going too slow. I looked up and could just make out bodies and chutes floating silently towards me. They looked like a frightening swarm of giant bugs descending. I was glad I knew what they actually were.”
Note: Tyrell is the African-American drummer in the Band of Brothers and an Iraqi veteran.

It would be awe-some to see a swarm of parachuters dropping out of the sky.
One time when my husband and I were up in the Cessna we had to go up and around a bunch of parachuters. That was a cool perspective.

With a Cessna winding it’s way through a group of parachuters, I wonder who was more surprised…or frightened!
