No a real problem when you're the only bird on a load..

...at least you got some practice time during this "summer" in navigation. ;)

That is probably the best high speed exit I've ever seen Jarno. Way better than I've ever done. What was exit speed?

140 knots...pretty damn sweet to see the plane cruise on way bellow (the plane is not diving)

We worked it up from 120 knots, going a bit faster every load. 10 knots at a time. Also tried a 150 knot exit, but that pretty much equaled the 140 knot exit in terms of hight.

Its also a bit of timing thing..opening up at the exact time you hit the blast, and go to full flight at about 45 degree angle or so..
Just being half a second late only gets a margin of the altitude that possible if you get it right..

Have a bunch of sweet exits like this on tape. Ill show you the work in progres edit of 'winged and dangerous' sometime soon..

Lots of flybys, exits and other freaky shit..

To everyone that attended the boogie!
Thank you for coming!

We had a dozen or so flyers present. And all of them improved quite amazingly during the boogie!
The last few jumps on sunday where all largely completed flocks.
Quite a few (free) 1 on 1 jumps next to that
And we also managed to get 3 new birds into the air, and give them a taste of real flying..

Spa...definately the center where more exciting stuff is going to happen next season! More news on that soon!
