No parachutes
If you were at the University of Oklahoma football game Saturday and you wondered what the U.S. Army Chinook helicopter was doing circling the stadium before the game, I have your answer.
Lt. Col. John Altebaumer, a spokesman for the Oklahoma National Guard, tells me the helicopter was supposed to drop a team of Army skydivers who planned to parachute into the stadium to present the game ball. The helicopter pilots were trying to reach a safe altitude to drop the parachute team, but Saturday’s weather forced them to cancel the drop.
Unfortuantely for Miami, the game went on as planned. The Sooners won 51-13.
