Norman Kent filmed this truly breathtaking shot over Key Largo, FL for his upcoming film "From Wings Came Flight."  The color-coordinated sequence is one of the several done by a group of jumpers known as the "Dream Team" headed by Guy Manos.  Their jumps in Florida, California and Mexico will form much, though by no means all, of the footage in the film.
