The111 0 #3 December 7, 2004 Quote3: Formation loads from the skyvan and porter. (kick ass to see the porter fly right over your head after you exit the van, you could hear the engine!). From my perspective (last out of Porter), it was a bit crazy to see a huge blurry stream of bodies flying by the window of the Porter and know it was my turn to fling myself into that stream... At one point I said to Perry, "hey look the pilots are flocking too... they're doing plane RW". He said "I don't want to look" (this is Scary Perry we're talking about). After that the Porter did an abrupt maneuver and it seriously looked like we were about to fly up the Van's ass. Scary fun.www.WingsuitPhotos.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bodypilot1 0 #4 December 7, 2004 Yo, For those that were not able to make it this year, make a plan to attend on the next one, as you won't want to miss something that is only going to get BIGGER and BETTER! The formations grew bigger and better as the weekend progressed, and with the solid base working as a team it gave everyone a great target to fly to, we hope Rickster got some great shots of the formations on Sunday. Here are some video grabs from some of the jumps that were downloaded onto my camera from Chris Ash, and a few taken from my camera view also. There is also a view from my camera on Sunday's sunset 3D formation of Loic over Scott, and myself over Chuck. And boy am I glad I don't have to stare at Scott Blands ass in the air anymore! Good job Ray and Great flying Flockers. Edwww.WestCoastWingsuits.com www.PrecisionSkydiving.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rdutch 0 #6 December 7, 2004 I forgot to mention, Air Traffic in Daytona said they saw the flocks quite well, good thing they knew, imagine seeing something as big as a B2 Bomber decending rapidly and then just dissapearing at 5000 ft.

Damn, think about making a BM video and having someone actually get footage at ATC of the BM formations .. that would be killer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bodypilot1 0 #12 December 7, 2004 Quotethat had to be Nelson..... Nope. And the off airport landing was only because we had some confusion with the Porter on the exit, thus putting us WAY out. The break off was for the flockers on the back end of the formation to do a 180 and track the opposite direction of the way the formation was flying, and for the others to fan out into clean air. The descipline on break off was great which lead to them landing out, but we corrected it after the first formation load.
