Heading To Sun 'N Fun? Heads Up For Skydivers

By Mary Grady

If you're planning on flying into Lakeland, Fla., for Sun 'n Fun, be on the alert for large formation skydiving over Zephyrhills Airport between April 14 and April 18, sunrise to sunset. Zephyrhills (ZPH) is located 16 nautical miles northwest of Lakeland, on Lakeland's 332-degree radial. The airport will be the site of a world record attempt involving 140 skydivers and seven jump aircraft. Getting caught in the middle could prove ... messy.

We're going to beat the old record of a two point 120 way, with a 2 point 140 way

May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. - Edward Abbey

they are doing the largest sequential jump....trying for a two point 140 way. 120 is the current record set at zhills last year. I have a lot of friends on the record this week, and there are a few dz.commers on there as well.

You want to read what some pilots were saying about the Lakeland flyin?

Check this out, read from the start of the thread. Apparently everyone in aviation related field bitch.
