MakeItHappen 15 #3 September 1, 2006 Quote Is anyone going to give us updates? Three loads so far today that turned onto jumprun at ~8:30, 10:30 and 12:30. Formation loads fly over my house. They only have 4 AC in formation. That is all I know. I am not at the DZ. .. Make It Happen Parachute History DiveMaker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peterkn 17 #7 September 2, 2006 The Skyvan went down late on Thursday, so we've been using 4 otters for the 6 jumps today. Hopefully it'll be fixed tomorrow. There aren't enough people here to break the 120-way record we set last year, so we're going for a sequential record instead. There have been about 86 people on most of today's jumps. A few more have drifted in during the day, but one or two have stood down because of injuries as well. Last jump today was the best so far, but we are still a few people short of completing the 1st point. If we carry on progressing at this rate and the weather holds out then I guess we'll be going for a second point tomorrow (Saturday). Pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We did a 44 way 3 point POPS jump in IL back in 2002, and they told us there was no sequential record to set. Good luck, and be safe....
