We did 8-way stack (not plane) by using 5 Lightnings (4x160's, 143) at the top and 3 Storms at the bottom of the formation. No broblem at all.

1977 General Scotty Carbone and Steve Haley made the first naked plane formation during the summer. http://www.skydivehame.com/cf/1977

Nothing big... http://www.fai.org/parachuting Next IPC meeting will deceded coming events. Now there is only one bid for World Champpionships.

All is possible in Finnish summer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSNS0ILW0Ec&feature=youtu.be ps - I wasn't there ps 2 - what is the biggest naked CRW formation? I know only 4-way

Hope to get more info about that 18-plane! That's new for me. PM is also on the way.

So...sorry - Australia is little diffentent than South Africa. Was it this one? "Bush Pilots Airlines was sponsoring a record attempt during the opening ceremonies of Cairns airport, Australia. The jumpers set a new world record, a 21-plane, in March. Jumper number 22 was also in but not for long enough. In total, there were 25 jumpers in the air." - 1984 And earlier in same year, jumpers make some big way plane formations, like 15- and 17-way.

In 83 or 84 .... or was it in 1988? "Jumpers from South Africa made a 18-plane in Phalaborwa. They used a DC-3 from the Air Force and held the record formation for 22 seconds. Jumpers used Cruislite and Xenon (made in SA) mains. Earlier South African records included 12-, 14-, and 16-planes. The new record was jumped in October." http://www.skydivehame.com/cf/1988

Cool! I almoust forget this one... and belive that it was part of the "lost" CRW history. More questions from PM. About CRW history, I had collect it a while and there link to small part of CRW history www.skydivehame.com/cf

The World Championships was in 1992. I was there also. "The 4th World Championships in CRW were held in Anyang, China, September 15-25. There were more than 200 000 spectators in the opening ceremonies and every day more than 10 000 spectators were watching the competition jumps. YAN-5, a Chinese copy of the Russian AN-2 was the jump plane. France won rotation and sequential, the USA won 8-speed event. Finnish rotation team members, Anita Nurminen, Maija Makela and Maija Haanpaa (alt) made history in China. They and sequential jumper Pat Sobrero from the USA were the first female competitors in world championships ever. Sobrero was also the first female medalist winning silver with her team." - more about CRW history from www.skydivehame.com/cf

More info - but still, place, date and name of the first jumper are missing.

How many jumps Hubert Julian did in his career? Who Hubert Julian? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubert_Julian His first jump was in September 3rd, 1922. I am looking his total jump # and source for that info. Can anyone help?

Somewhere from internet. I don't remember address (pity)... Can you find any of those to ask more...

I am looking more info about 5-by-side attempts made in 1986. Or other 5-by-side attempts. Jumpers were(?) Steve Doggers Marshall, Trevor Joshua, Mark Allen, LP(?) and Johnno Gouws. Photo by D Zuppinger. Can anyone help?

Hope to get more info about that 13-stack - date and place of the jump and ... All info are wellcome!

"What is the largest UNPLANED stack on record? " - I belive that it is 12-stack made in USA in 1979 You will find more info from: http://www.skydivehame.com/cf/biggest.php

Both are interesting. But I mean intentional jump info. That Russian jumper made intentional jump.

Some of us had done it, some don't. But who was the first who jumped from glider? Also, where and when that happened? What I know now is that Lyuba Berlin from Russia make jump from glider in may 1935. Also in WWII there were lot of training jumps from gliders in Camp Mackall. Can anyone help?

I am looking more info about one old jump - it was done in 1929. "August 30, 1929 Anna Kivimaki makes parachute jump at Milford, N.H." Source: http://www.fitchburgairport.com/museum/fitchburgairhist.html I like get some extra info like what was the jump plane and name of the parachute what she used. All other info are also welcome.

Hi! There is one 3-stack. Are you looking this one or? You will find part of the CRW history: http://www.skydivehame.com/cf/1980.php CFPasi

Nice work! Again, one part of the CRW history had done. Congratulations for all jumpers in that camp!
