Phantom participated in the Tico Warbird Airshow this weekend. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate and as the winds were too high to safely jump, we had to stand down both days. However, at least we did get to ride in the C47 on the first day because we were ready to go right up until the final call was made to stand down. As we were boarding the plane the second day the flight crew noticed a mechanical problem so even if the wind would have let us jump that day, the plane was grounded. So, while it was a bit of a let down to not jump, at least we all got to partake in the the airshow and the company of other paratroopers.
Special thanks to local residents Toby and Gary for putting together a great cookout on Saturday night for the team, friends, and family.
