You might want to contact USPA directly to double check. I've not heard any such rule.

I think there is a requirement to have a D license... there was the last ime I went to Nats... but check the Comp Manual.

Close, Quade, but those are the Pre-license change requirements. When they changed the C to 200 and the D to 500, they also changed the competition requirements. Now:

Since there is nothing to differentiate the camera person, nothing stating a lower requirement, one must assume the cameraperson is part of the team and must meet the same requirements.

Doh! That's what I get for holding on to an old SCM.

That said, whatever requirements apply to the team apply to the camera flyers. The camera flyer -IS- a part of the team.
