I'll be out in Eloy Oct 28-29 and then in November from the 10-12th. If anyone wants to jump or wants some free coaching look for me on the DZ.:)

Excellent weather here today and plenty of flock action. It's a Cochstedt flash back as many of the Germans who were here for the RW record were in Cochstedt and are still here.They threw on their suits today and we busted several birdies. Rolf took peter(spaggetti) up for his first flight. Peter taught Rolf how to FF back in the day when it was the new thing and now Rolf had the opportunity to pay peter back and show him how to Birdman. Even though Peter is a seasoned skydiver he had that "oh my God" look in his eyes when he landed. The way he was spouting off in German and the huge grin on his face said it all. We are not sucking in Eloy:)

Congrats to Martin from Sweden. He made his first flight today and did several more with Rolf, Mica and myself. We also flew a few tight technical flocks with Ash, Rolf and myself. We flew a 3 man vertical stack with all 3 flyers backflying. We are not sucking in Eloy;)

Damn, that sounds very sweet! How did you deal with not really being able to see the flyer below you? Or was the person on top the base?

It was a bit of a challenge but the 2nd man from the bottom of the stack served as the base for the 1st and the 3rd man served as a base for the 1st and 2nd once they were on thier backs. We got about 12 inches apart from one another during a portion of the flight but averaged I'd say 18-24 inches give or take.It went way better than expected and I wish we would of had a cameraman with us.

PS: Tell Jarno when you see him that Gunter(Dutch Army) says hello.He got to do his first Tandem from 18K ft on what was probably a night jump by the time they finished prebreathing and got to altitude.

Cool!
Big hello to Gunter!

When I get back from Zell Am See next week, I'll also (finaly) get to making that 3D stuff you asked for ready for use.
I'll email you next week Scott!
