kallend 2,146 #1 September 21, 2003 festivalcondios.com/ visited Skydive Chicago yesterday, and about 5,000 spectators turned up for their show. I'm not completely sure about what it involves, but it is a Christian event with a bunch of Christian rock bands. We were asked to do a "cross" RW jump over the area - so we did: a 22-way cross (zippers off a 4-way base, with a stinger at each end of the long arm). Held the completed formation for 25 seconds.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diverdriver 7 #2 September 22, 2003 Yah, and it rocked! Really cool to get to do something special like that. I was worried they wouldn't get to see it because of the completely blue sky but it was dry enough that you could see the formation well from the ground. And of course we opened on the opposite side of the concert area from the landing area so we got to all fly over the top (at appropriate altitudes of course ) and land. Great video done by Ron Olsen with a great shot of the formation cropped with the concert in the near background. Way cool! I hope we can get a small file size version of that pic so we can post it here.Chris Schindler www.diverdriver.com ATP/D-19012 FB #4125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
