More than a dozen skydivers soared
over Shelton on Tuesday morning
performing XRW exercises. Accord-
ing to Jessie Farrington at Kapowsin
Skydiving, “While one jumper flies
the parachute, the wingsuit jumper
will maneuver to a point that the two
can connect. When they separate
the jumper under the small canopy
must land that parachute. The jump-
er in the wingsuit flies away from the
open parachute and opens their own
parachute.”
Clockwise from left: Amelia Dun-
away directs her chute as she pre-

Airport in Shelton Tuesday morn-
ing. Jake Reardon of Shelton lifts

carry their parachutes back to the
