Former World Record Broken in Oz ;)

Recommended Posts

The Aussies finally broke our national CRW formation record on 22nd Mar 2007. As per below, the old record existed for 23 years and was at the time the world record. None of the people from the old record were on the new record.

Our new record is a baby by world standards, but we love it just the same. A 25 way diamond.

Special thanks to Chris Gay for brilliant engineering, organisation, training, piloting, and gear provision (and for putting up with Ozzie humour).
Also to Higgo and Sarge for organising the event.
To Lindy et al for judging the formation.
Wayno and Steve for their camerawork.
To all the pilots, planes, manifests, cooks cleaners, brewers, townfolk, DZ owners, other people not mentioned, etc.
And lets not forget us - the participants. Great work guys and gal.

Now, everyone has to recruit one person and turn up to the next attempt. 36 -> 49 -> ;)

The above could be crap, thought provoking, useful, or . . But not personal. You decide.

Strangely enough, Australia is also the site of the first Deaf World Record RW formation, a 7 way, way back in the early 90's. It was finally eclipsed in the U.S. in 2001 and again in 2003 and 2005...

Kudos to everyone involved! B|

Oddly enough, the person giving the Arch call was Archie...
