I wish I could step into a time machine and move "them" ahead to the near future.

Imagine this... you're at an Air Show and a jump plane is on jump run at an altitude of 8000' (hi-vis) and 9 wing suit flyers exit and immediately form a tight diamond and I mean tight, then all of a sudden the tail man dumps then the right man on row 4 then the left man on row 4 then the right wing then the left wing then the tail of the remaining 4-way diamond then the right side row 2 then the left side on row 2 then the point as last.

We trained like dogs to be a worthy 9-way diamond base for the largest canopy formation. We would exit the Porter from 2000' - 2500' to build our 9-way diamond base for practice.

Some of my most memorable flights were the ones that were planned right down to a dirt dive. And I would definitely like to see some at demos/airshows. The Soul Flyer guys have done that and wowed crowds. The Golden Knights are rumored to be doing their diamond track with wingsuits now.

That's what AirZoneXtreme is all about: entertainment, exhibition & competition. I purchased the copyrighted Stars & Stripes Airblades from Reggie Eastaugh for exibition purposes, and we spent a week in demo training with the Golden Knights Gold team several years ago. We started wingsuit, flock dives to the AirZone at Quincy, but Rantoul is a 100 times better for spectators. We'll be bringing our smoke! Don Kirlin usually has a finale air show. He and the spectators appreciate it when people stay a little longer to sign autographs. So come fly with us if you get to WFFC. We'll be at the AirZone and in & out of the Bird-Man tent. We are arriving early and meeting with Bird-Man staff & the Air Boss before the convention starts to assure safety. All proficient, wingsuit flyers, regardless of wingsuit brand, are able to participate on the flock dives in general. We understand that you need to first check in with Chuck & Scott at the Bird-Man tent. Check out the "Xtreme Media" page on our website. http://www.airzonextreme.com. There is wingsuit, streaming video shot by Annie, except for the Florida Key's dive and final sunset shot by Joao Tambor. On the streaming video, I'm wearing a yellow & red Classic, but now Annie, Rosalyn, I have S3's. Also on streaming video (which made CNN news), is when I became the first woman in the world to drive an Airborne All Terrain Vehicle out the back of a tailgate, drop to 7500', deploy the 1,200 squ. ft. main, and steer it for landing with the AATV inventor, Ted Strong. For the good of the flock, fly to the AirZone! The WFFC map with the AirZone location is on the News/Events page of airzonextreme.com Blue Skies to Everyone!

Feel free to drop by either suit vendor or the dropzone.com tent and see who is doing what. Yes, I am sure that there are going to be "end of day" flocks at the convention. I would just ask that everyone use some common sense in their planning and ensure that different groups coordinate with each other for safety sake. At last year's convention we had an absolute stampede on the BirdMan booth, taking more than 200 people on first flights without incident.
