Tandem Back in the Saddle After Bad Weather

After a few days of rainy weather, the sun finally broke through the clouds today and Tandem Team took to the skies. Today, several orthodontists from Ft Bragg came out to check in on some of their patients. SSG Joe Jones, fresh of a recent visit to the orthodontist was able to reward their hard work with Tandem jumping from an airplane. Also today, Tom Grubb, the artist who is currently designing a new statue for the Golden Knights Headquarters building, came out to experience the thrill of free falling at 120 mph. Although high winds tried to slow things down a bit, Tandem Team drove on with their mission conducting 12 tandem jumps.
