Dyess opens gates to public for 2015 Dyess Big Country Airfest
Retired Air Force Master Sgt. Gordon Storey prepares for a parachute to deploy during a tandem jump with the U.S. Army Golden Knights during the opening festivities of Rockin' in the Park May 1, 2015, at Dyess Air Force Base, Texas. Storey was asked to jump with the Army team after multiple people in the Abilene, Texas, viewing area nominated him to represent the community during a local TV contest. Storey founded and continues to volunteer for the Dyess We Care Team, an organization that provides service work to those in the Big Country area. (U.S. Army photo)
