On November 12-15, 2009, a large number of skydivers converged from places like Seattle and Houston at the Mesquite, Nevada Airport. There, they were engaged in setting a Nevada record for most skydivers hitting the silk at one time.
Carl's friend John Farrington lives in Mesquite, so Carl traveled there to see the jumps. It was quite impressive when three aircraft filled with skydivers emptied out 12,500 feet above us, and well over forty jumpers all headed for their landing simultaneously.
For any skydivers Carl met in Mesquite, please contact him at divxprt!@cox.net and let him know your colors. He has shots of many of you, but can only identify you by your suit and canopy colors!

My friend John Farrington lives in Mesquite. At the local airport there, he discovered a very active skydiving club with frequent weekend jumps. He began going out to photograph them on weekends. Recently, Carl has gone up to Mesquite on a few occasions to photograph the sky divers. Many of their jumps are from a height of 12,500 feet, so photography of the divers actually exiting the planes can be particularly challenging. |
In October and November of 2009, Carl visited Mesquite three times to film the skydivers. This show is a compilation of all the enthusiastic divers I saw in action on those days! On November 13-16, they assembled three aircraft and a large number of divers in an attempt to set a Nevada record for simultaneous jumper. They accomplished the record, and had plenty of fun doing it! |
