Sorry but I have been busy here in Elsinore We have been flying wingsuit formation all the time since we arrived 2 days ago.
Yesterday we started the day getting together in the groups. I am in the Rear center group and I am going to fly with smoke in the tail. We got 5 jumps in yesterday and we have made some really nice formations so far. The exit is now a 7 sec piece of cake we are about 25 - 30 sec for completing the formation and then it is getting perfected as long as we go.
The whole formation is going to consist of four groups from 4 planes fwd aft and LH RH wing. the organizers have really been thinking a lot about this there is a few places i disagree with them and so far i have been right with the first things that being exit order with the 2 smoke jumpers in our group we are now exiting last as I suggested and that's working just perfect now.
The only issue I have now is the brake off where I think the forward part of fwd formation should be braking off with the wings at 5500 ft and then the rest at 4500 ft . But the organizers docent think as i do so we are going to brake the wings off at 5500 and the fwd and aft group at 4500. I personally don't have a problem i just need to turn 90 degree and pull but there is some people that is going to be tight tomorrow if the organizers is wrong..
Today we made 3 jumps and the last jump was in much too high wind for a record attempt but our team leader wanted to jump so we did. I don't have a problem with high wind but there was a lot of out landings so we properly should have stayed on the ground.
We just had a American FAT dinner. No wonder there is so meany fat people over here 3 different piece's of meat, beans and a piece of bread............... after that there was a safety brief and right now people is drinking a beer and talking about tomorrows jump where we are going to make the first attempt for the 71 way wingsuit flock....
Now for my opinion on all this I seriously don't believe that we are going to be 71 wingsuiter's at the 3x3 meter box at the same time but i know for sure that we are going to be DAMMM close and this is going to be the best slot specific formation EVER build so i am really looking forward to this..
