1-10th SFGA HALO Jump Mont St Michel, Normandy
2 June 2012, as a part of the 68th D-Day commemoration ceremonies. Great way to spend a Saturday. 
And so it goes...

Great shot Gianitus. Two questions. That is a huge rig you are wearing. What size canopies are in it? Secondly, what is that metal bar at top left of picture?

Looks like his main handle. Or maybe his reserve handle depending on where the camera was mounted.
