I also have to mention that in this swoop meet the payment of the registration fee allows you to do all the jumps you can. The plane is from the spanish army and the competitors are going to have the opportunity to jumps all they can. Just try to hop in every load!
This is an excellent way of training for the European Sason, losts of training jumps (all you can do), with excellent swoopers doing the same.

Dear Rob McVey,

thanks a lot for your very nice article about the SpanishOpen of CanopyPiloting at Skydive Lillo!!

I just found two very little things in it I´d like to correct.

"Wutzi Wagner lost his second place positioning by missing a gate in accuracy...".

The names are mixed up, it was not him but Rodrigo Ferreira of Portugal.
Before that miss Rodrigo was jumping very very strong, especially in CarvingSpeed (he won the Silver in Speed).
Wutzi (Wuzi?) Wagner also had excellent runs, especially in Accuracy (he won the Gold in Accuracy).

The overall medals you´r naming are of course correct!

The distances you´r naming are about 100ft too short.
Have a look at the attached picture of a landing in a distance round just before the 120m (~400ft) mark (visible in the background).
Results say that the longest runs have been about 15% further than the one in the picture...

(Picture has been taken by Team "MUDFLY" of Portugal.)

Once again: Thanks a lot for the nice article!!!

Morris

...and the "outrageous 280+ ft distance" would have been just a touchdown in the penaltyzones of the accuracy course...

(maybe it´s been a mistake in calculating meters into feet? the "easy way" is: meters x 3 plus! 10% not minus 10%, for example 120m x 3 = 360 + 10% (=+36) = 396ft, not 360 - 36 = 324ft... could this have caused the mistake?)
