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- pares to land at Sanderson Field Airport in Shelton Tuesday morn- ing. Jake Reardon of Shelton lifts his knees in preparation for landing. TWo skydivers in white wing suits hold their bodies steady while a parachuter balances on their bodies’ during a XRW exercise. Jake Rear- don and Kayla Cleven smile as they carry their parachutes back to the Kapowsin hangar. Buck Prib helps new skydiver Carlos‘Rodriguez with his pack prior to takeoff. Kayla Clev- en glides overhead. Journal photos by Lloyd Mullen Thursday, July 30, 2020 — Shelton-Mason County Journal — Page A-15 Photo courtesy of Ryan Sawyer
