    • We were busy hoisting our flags before the World 'POPS' Parachute meet.
    The wind was a real challenge.!
    We called this the The Iwa Jima scene.!
    The SOS really stands for
    Skydivers Over Sixty !
    Now they have 'JOS' jumpers Over Seventy.
    and even 'SOE's.' Skydivers Over Eighty !
    So far, I believe there are three of them, to date. This is 2003.
    This is our New Zealand flag being hoisted.
    There were five jumpers from New Zealand plus partners.
    We were required to march in the street before the opening ceremony.
