Star Novak, who has contributed many great photographs to General Aviation News, was going through her hundreds of photos from this year’s AirVenture in Oshkosh when this photo stood out to her immediately.
“I was on the front line when the multitudes of parachutists started to land, and I turned my camera just in time to catch their celebratory pass down the flight line. What an impact these parachutists made on these kids! That young boy is nearly flying with enthusiasm!”
Star adds she would love to get a copy of this photo in the hands of the parachutist woman in orange — “she has certainly made quite a first impression!”
If you have any information about the woman in orange, email starn@mcfarlaneaviation.com
Her name is Lise Nansen from Norway.
