3 awesome attempt jumps, perfect weather, perfect alinement of the aircrafts, 80 free flyers flying solid... and just one grip missing. The goal is close!
|
8.15 rendez-vous at Skydiveempuriabrava, Babylon container. The 80 flyers are in the formation were s-elected the night before. The excitement is really high. People want to jump, they can't wait for breaking a new european record in head-down formation. They made the first attempt in the morning, around 10 o'clock. At the ground there was astonishment... first attempt and it looked like they made it! Then Vince Reffet, the first one to land, swooped at the ground and everybody was looking at him, trying to discover thru his reactions if they really close. All the other people landed and you could feel the happiness and the satisfaction. They knew they flew really good, but they couldn't be sure the formation was perfectly close. They need to watch the video. And the video showed a truly beautiful 80-way with one grip missing! It was frustrating, but the game has just started. On the second attempt, instead, there was a miscommunication between the group of each plane, so the jump didn't follow the initial plan. The third attempt, one more time, showed an awesome solid formation with one grip missing. The adrenaline is high as much as the altitudine now. Everybody knows the formation flies very good, it's just matter of time to achieve the goal. Written by Vania Da Rui
