Coolidge, Ariz. — A ground crew member tipped his head back and searched the sky for parachutes.
More than a mile up, the Triple 7 Expedition jump team was falling toward earth. One by one, canopies ballooned against the wide Arizona sky — orange, blue, gray, red.
Within seconds, eight parachutes were inflated, and the jumpers turned to fly toward the 50-meter patch of grass.
On cue, the ground crewman sprinted to a line of smoke canisters laid out in the dirt. He pulled a pin on each and stepped back. Red smoke billowed into the air.
Above, the jumpers reacted, maneuvering to avoid flying over the smoke, setting up their landing patterns parallel to the red clouds.
