Touchdown! Greaser!
LOL. Never heard of tandem jumpers referred to in this way, but when you're flying a glider in the vicinity, I guess they could be considered such!

Hillboro airport now has a commercial skydiving operation. Possible tandem divers (400 lb meat bombs) free-falling at 120 mph between 11,000 and 2,000. In most cases they will be within 2 miles of the airfield. All pilots entering the area should monitor 122.9 Hillboro unicom for "jumpers away announcements" . Pilots landing at Hillboro should adhere to strict FAA standard pattern rather than the TSA modified glider pattern. Eyes on stalks and head on swivel.
