Gus Wing, D-7117, strapped his 35mm on the tail of the trail Cessna for this shot of a formation load exit over the Buckingham Parachute Center in Orange, VA.  Pilot Bob Churchill, D-7253, snapped the photo as his airplane emptied.

Norman Kent, who spent most of last month in Yugoslavia for the VIth World Championships of RW (page 15) submitted this photo of a 3-stack landing at Perris Valley Paracenter prior to his departure.  Kent's photos of the world championships will accompany Craig Fronk's complete story in next month's PARACHUTIST.

Mike Homer, Esther Bick, Ernie Long, Phyllis McCauley and Steve Dramstad check out cameraman Mike McGowan over the Aero Country DZ in Texas.  McGowan is a frequent contributor to PARACHUTIST whose work has also appeared in the annual USPA Calendar.  (For more information on ordering the 1986 USPA Skydive Calendar, see page 34 of this issue.)

Gary Cobb, D-8876, designed the official logo for the 1985 National Skydiving Championships which appears on this month's cover and on the official National Championships T-shirts and hats (see page 44 for ordering information).  The complete report on the 1985 Budweiser Skydiving Championships begins on page 14 of this issue.

Joe O'Leary, D-8727, got this month's cover shot of Steven Haskett, Dwight MacArthur and Sam White over the Brazos Valley Paracenter in Bryan, TX.  All four jumpers are members of the Texas A&M University Sport Parachute Club which uses Brazos Valley as its home DZ.  Shortly after taking this shot O'Leary was en route to Spaceland, TX where he took part in an apparent world record 23-stack June 16 (see page 19).
