Jumperpaula 0 #1 December 16, 2001 The Silver Falcon Award is for a 36 way or bigger formation. I can see doing away with the Falcon and Eagle, but the Silver Falcon requires two aircraft and alot of talent on one Drop Zone. Fly Your Slot ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #2 December 16, 2001 are they doing away with the golden eagle, too or just the silver falcon?I agree, the silver falcon should stay....it takes some talent and coordination to pull something that g off!Anne"by stitches, cloth, and cord,...a god of the sky for those immortal moments."-Lindbergh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Albatross 0 #3 December 17, 2001 The idea is to do away with the easier of all the awards and keep the more dificult. I agree that the Silver Falcon should be kept because so few people have it or qualify. It does take a big effort to make it into a 36 way. I mean You can get 3 good jumpers to pull someone through 4 points on a 4 way and a 2 point 8 way might not require any movement on the persons part but a 36 way requires effort. Why not add awards for large groups docking late?God bless us and God Bless AmericaAlbatross Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jumperpaula 0 #4 December 18, 2001 USPA responded that they had to do away with an award to add one, and they added the 3D award.- "But...you did away with three"....long pause, "we will be adding two more later". I have wasted ..oops, I mean submitted my money for all the awards thus far. Im up to the Silver Falcon and they cut it. Guess I'll have to work on the CRW awards for a while. Fly Your Slot !
