Description:

Outside my window, I can hear the radio, And I know that motor wagon is ready to fly, 'cause it's almost saturday night. Bye bye, tomorrow, jody's gone to the rodeo, And you know some good old boys are ready to ride, 'cause it's almost saturday night. Chorus: Gonna push the clouds away, let the music have it's way, Let it steal my heart away, and you know i'm-a-goin'! Outside the ringing, the night train is bringin' me home, When you hear that locomotion get ready to ride, 'cause it's almost saturday night. Chorus Outside the ringing, the night train is bringin' me home, When you hear that locomotion get ready to ride, 'cause it's almost saturday night. Oh yeah! ____________________________ After taking a look at this amazing 81 Man Starburst Parachute Formation is pretty awe inspiring. The courage, skill and preparation needed to pull such a feat off is amazing. Last November (last year as far as I know), they pulled off this world record stunt just as the sun was rising. NASA has an article describing the process as well as some larger pictures of the Starburst Pattern. Once under way, the formation had to develop quickly as the divers dropped toward the Earth. "The whole formation descends at 1,000 feet per minute," said Keenan. Two more waves of planes arrived, streaming in divers and swelling the size of the formation. When the 81st person docked, he keyed his radio and shouted into it for each of the jumpers to hear: "Complete!" The "81-way" dive took 9 minutes and 12 seconds to come together, and was held in formation for 26 seconds. The next words heard over the radio were "starburst, starburst" - the command to break up the diamond formation and come in for a landing. "We had heard the complete call -- we knew we had got it -- so we were yelling and hollering and high-fiving and jumping around in the field," said Hillebrandt.
