And the stupid skydiver’s landing zone was an air strip? Idiot.

The images show the skydiver, 49-year-old John Frost, being flipped over by the force of the collision before the plane crashes nose first. Still jumping, after all these years. I think he's more like 149 years old, though. :-)

I believe this should have been the fault of the airport. When skydiving all I think normal GA operations are diverted or halted while jumping, not sure though. The only plane flying should be the jump plane.
