World’s Largest Vertical Wingsuit Formation

Andrew — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 12:50:54 +0000

Wingsuit pilots from all over the world gathered at Skydive Carolina in September 2011 to test the limits of flying in large vertical fleets. With 36 pilots in a formation spanning over 70 feet high, this fleet set the (unofficial) record for the largest vertical wingsuit formation ever flown.

Unofficial Vertical Wingsuit Formation Record

This was the vertical wingsuit record attempt at Skydive Carolina in September 2011. Although it was the largest vertical wingsuit formation flown so far, it’s an unofficial record because the USPA doesn’t have a category for vertical formations yet. Photo by Richard Schneider.

Blue Skies and Water Over Thailand

Andrew — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 17:00:26 +0000

A 14-way formation skydive at the 2009 Thai Sky Festival in — you guessed it — Thailand. Unfortunately the 2011 Thai Sky Festival was cancelled but will hopefully be back next year. This shot reminds me of a few skydiving pics in paradise, like Luigi Cani flying his wingsuit over Fiji and this 6-way formation skydive at Tahiti Skydive.

Amazing 400-Way Formation Skydiving World Record

Andrew — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 12:52:34 +0000

This is an old clip from 2006 of the World Team completing the 400-way formation skydiving world record in Thailand. This isn’t like the Mission 100 big way at Parachute Montreal or the Square One 200-Way Sequential at Skydive Arizona. This is a very impressive 400-way… like a game of human Tetris in the sky. Congrats to everyone involved in this successful jump! What’s the biggest big way you’ve ever done?

60-Way Skydiving Record in Ukraine

Andrew — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 12:15:33 +0000

This is the Ukranian 60-way big way formation skydiving record set in 2009 at DZ Borodianka. The exit was at 16,000 feet (4,800 meters) and the completed formation was only flying for a few seconds before break-off… but a success!

Premature Parachute Opening on Exit

Andrew — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:35:47 +0000

This is an older clip from Fonsz Kriegsman at Skydive Teuge in the Netherlands. His buddy on the 4-way team has a premature opening on exit. Now I know some of you might be thinking — why didn’t he cut-away to get back into formation? Or was that just a really high hop and pop? Lol. Be safe and remember to protect your handles when climbing out.
