Awesome pictures ! It must be quite a thrill to jump over these 'sacred' grounds ...
You're a member of the "Liberty Jump Team", right ? Whenever I'm in Normandy, I often have a chat or get together with Hubert A, whom you must know. We used to often meet in my 're-enacting' period.
Due to the numerous ceremonies and a tight program on Friday (4 June 2010), I wasn't there, but we did watch everything that went on at La Fière the next day (5 June 2010) including the separate commemorative + mass jump over this historical DZ.
This was my annual visit to Ste-Mère-Eglise, and as usual (since 1982), we escort Vets, get together, visit historic places, entertain them, and it is always a 'special' feeling to sort of watch over and help WW2 Veterans, true members of the Greatest Generation during their visit to Normandy (and the Bulge).
Thanks for sharing.
Best,
