Fun at Power Play

Was a fun event. A lot of _very_ challenging dives and some good successes. See attached for two of the prettier formations.

Those are a couple of very innovative formations. Both look pretty challenging to build. Good work.

That cats one is asweome, well heck they both are. How many plane loads and typs of planes were involved? How long did it take it to build, did you go to extra alititude?

How long did it take to build? Not sure. We were doing 2-3 points on most of those dives. The last point is actually much cooler looking but I don't have a picture of that one yet.

We could have used 2 otters (22 per + 1 camera per) but we used 3 because (in Dan's words) "we can." It was much more comfy. We went to 16500 for the last day (with O2) for a little extra working time.

Let me get this right, you took 44 people and turned 2 and 3 points with that? Dam that's freak'n awesome!!!! I'm happy when I'm in something larger than 10 and we turn 1 or 2, but 44, that's... sigh, someday.

That was a pretty good formation. I haven't done anything that tough, but I do have pictures of a 4 point 33 way I did with Roger Ponce in Monroe, GA years ago, but that was a more traditional formation with everyone facing the center in some fashion.

Ah Monroe, I wish it were still open... maybe it shall rise from the ashes someday. I'm just selfish as it's only 17 miles from my house and I got my A there. :(

On topic, a 4 point 33 way is nothing to sneeze at either. My best yet was being allowed to be part of an 18 way in Dublin this year. It turned 2 or 3 points, but I was part of the base and other than trying to stay on level I was mostly being flown around the sky like I was back on AFF. I think I had something like 80 jumps at the time. Carl kept letting me come back though so I guess I was not doing to bad. I've been on lots of 9 and 10 ways out of the KA since, and many are lucky to build let alone turn a point which makes 33 and 44 ways turning 2-4 points that much more impressive to me!!
