happythoughts 0 #13 November 22, 2007 Congrats to everyone involved. By "everyone involved", I also mean the people who worked and worked and tried and practiced... and were not selected. All that effort was not lost. Those people were given an opportunity that others may not have been received. A learning experience is never wasted. People who don't read the CRW forum may not realize that the planning and sub-group practice has been going on for quite a while. What a tremendous picture!

parachutist 2 #14 November 22, 2007 Quote Quote why bittersweet? It does look like anyon e was seriously hurt Except for the guy that died. Edited to add link. There are a lot of emotions for me in Lake Wales this evening: Rejoicing over our accomplishment of the elusive 100-way goal, wishing that all 130+ CRW dogs who attended this event could've been included in the record dive, and realizing the loss of such a well-known and experienced CRW dog who's been a familiar face at so many CRW boogies. After we landed from our final 100-way attempt this evening, the pilots of the 5 aircraft (2 casas & 3 twin otters) brought a formation flyby directly over us. One plane peeled away from the formation, symbolizing the loss of Joe Lambright, Paul Quandt, Scott Cowan, Taz, Scott Fiore, Joel Zane, and other close skydivers that we as a group have lost over the last few years. In addition to all of those emotions, I'm reading here on DZ.com about a local Atlanta jumper/friend who was attacked by another jumper. Woody is a talented freefaller from whom I've learned a great deal. Woody, I wish you full recovery ASAP. I'd like to get my AFF rating this winter and be doing AFF jumps with you this spring.

Well said. My heart is in a similar place tonight...there is much jubilence of the achievement of the 100 CF World Record, as well as sorrow for our lost loved ones. This IS Thanksgiving, so I hope that we can move forward and remember our lost loved ones and celebrate how they impacted our lives in such a positive way. _________________________________________ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

parachutist 2 #25 November 22, 2007 QuoteCongrats on a great job. Thanks, Don. I appreciate your comments. My slot in the formation (#16) was actually pretty easy compared to some of the bottom slots. When that formation got to about 81 the outside layers were washing in & out, up & down. On video it looked like a moving target that would be difficult to approach. Somehow everyone made it into the diamond though! Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
