I bought alot of the executive offices at the Hoover company liquidation auction that took place at the headquarters of the Hoover company in North Canton ohio. We had already moved everything down near the loading dock and this is basically use loading the semi with everything.
Close up aerial shots of Kittinger's main chute as he drops towards the desert floor. You can see the stabilising drogue shot hanging off the top canopy.
