Photos: The Leap Frogs Descend on Central Park

Some readers got fun shots of the Navy “leap frogs”, who jumped from planes onto the Great Lawn on Thursday. The top three are from Peter Post.

And Elyssa and her daughter came out to see the jumpers. The little girl “wore her wings hoping for a chance to fly with them.”
