I always thought it was the camera angle/zoom that made the B-17 look so low. Boy, was I wrong.
I kept waiting for a propstrike on that road sign.

Cool stuff!

Did a couple jumps with the CSA until some Leap Frog (Navy Special Warfare Jump Team) decided to clip the tail of an F16 at an airshow and the $1M insurance requirement kicked in forcing the CSA to change their doctrine. Thanks for sharing.
