jkbernstein 1 #1 July 13, 2008 Yesterday (Saturday, July 12th) a new Ohio State FS Record was set at Start Skydiving in Lebanon, OH. The all-female jump was a 20-way, with a 4-way base and 4 zippers. It was a two-plane formation, with 12 jumpers in the lead Caravan and 8 in the trail plane, also a Caravan. The ladies nailed the jump on the second attempt; it was truly beautiful skydive. (Pics to be posted soon.) The participants were: Jessica Bernstein Leah Connell Tristan Donley Tara Durant Joan Esson (coordinator of the event) Amy Filion Tracy Gaboury Kathy Grix-Allen Katie Groschwitz Misty Harmon Robin Heider Carolyn Johnson Linda Lohmiller Tina Richards Sara Robinson Amy Romig Kristi Snow Shannon Sweeney Beth Toman Carol Wilkinson John Woody did an outstanding job of organizing. (Woody, we love you!) Thanks to Bruce Schemmel and Jerry MacDonald for flying. Chicks rock!May the (relative) wind take your troubles away... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daizey 0 #2 July 15, 2008 Yay for us!! I've posted a picture of the formation close to building but not complete (missing one grip), as those photos are being sent into parachutist, and therefore cannot be published elsewhere Also a ground shots of all the girls. Photo credit goes to Eric Boerger. *daizey* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
