Tuesday we made another display this time in front of 500 people or more. A RW site was arranging the local Skt. Hans fire with parachute and gymnastic display.
The display was also a raffle the landing area was divided into squares with numbers so the spectators could buy tickets and where ever we landed the lucky spectators would win a cash money price.
We let off 2 jumpers with slow canopies in 3500 ft while they were flying down, Basse and me climbed to 8000 ft and made a hop’n pop. After that we flew formation and made a nice spiral down over the landing area.
And just to show how PERFECT the Comp Velocity opens look at this opening.
in 3000 ft Basse went on brakes and I went in for my setup and made a very nice 450 turn and a 90 carve into the landing area and the comments from the spectators was priceless. Lots of nice comments and applause.
After me Basse was ready to land and he also made a nice turn but didn’t calculate with the slight downwind and only stopped ½ a meter in front of the crowd so the canopy landed among the spectators.. I guess he owns beer for that one.
After we all landed we all packed the canopies and answered all the questions from the exited spectators. Especially 4 of the spectators was happy they all won 1000 Dkr. As usual there was a beer and some goodies for us after the display. Just after we landed the gymnastic display went on and of cause the bonfire was lid after the last display. Its just so much more fun to make a demo in this perfect conditions, and ending the day with a cold beer and a big fire.. Over and out……. :0)
