Remember this?
A bunch of no-name (tee hee) skydivers got to jump into the opening ceremonies of the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.
And here’s what it all looked like to the spectators:

Anyone on the jump want to share your photos or stories?
H/T to cptnpiccard for the reddit thread!
Hmmmmmm !! I thought that all skydivers who did the jump at the Seoul Olympic games earned the right to be there and were all previous / current world champions including current national accuracy champions selected from 24 nations to be on the team ( SOSET ) which appears to be contrary to one misinformed and envious person who wrote their comments ( tee hee ) …. Glad you weren’t on the team and the right people were is what I think.
I think you’re referring to my labeling of the jumpers as “no-names,” right? Jokes are always super funny when you have to explain them, but that was meant ironically, as every person on that jump was – and still is – a HUGE name.
Who were the team members and from where?
Kenyon Crabtree was one, from San Diego CA! He works with me at ViaSat and still has this photo up in his office. Found it on google when I was telling a new team member who jumps about Ken.
I had the privilege to learn how to skydive with one of them last year: Linda Wasilonski!
