OS and I were shooting together. Here's a few of the Army team (which is actually a continuation of his second pic anyway)

Pretty awesome pictures, both of you. No pictures of them jumping out of the Helicopters though? And where did you go to see them jumping out of the plane? Thanks

Ryan - yeah - we had fun. This post has a link that shows the airport on Google Maps - and "airport" is really a stretch - but all they do is sky diving - and apparently at least one pretty black helicopter! No - they weren't jumping from the copter, but there WAS an advert up for anyone intereseted in a Balloon jump!

Do they just let you on "The Ranch"? or did you need special permission to go there and photograph?

Well - there IS a sign that says "Members and Guests only" at the entrance - but we just went in and asked and there was no issue. OS and I have photographed another local airport - a "real" one that time - and someone called the police on us for "suspicious activity". The police were incredibly polite and even suggested that we might want to "lay low" for about a half hour, then come back if we wanted.

OS has photographed a similar field, again locally, with no issue whatever. I think from here out, we will just go in and talk to someone, and be pretty much golden from there.
