Day 2 here at the “pearl of the Gulf” flew by (pardon the pun). The winds died down and only left the flutter of helicopters and screaming of planes taking the guys up, CRW, RW, Classics and CP all got up in the air.
We are all running smoothly (it must be the perfect weather conditions:-)) be it the competitors, planes, judges, DZ or us manufactures! It was fantastic to see so many “non” skydivers making their way down to watch what we do…………
Today is December 2nd, and the 40th anniversary of the UAE! Everywhere flags could be seen and happy faces, The DZ really was full of families coming along to see what fun we have in the sky. We manufactures were busy chatting with both skydivers and those just interested and spent allot of time explaining what we do and how. It was great to see how much interest was shown and more than once i was asked where they could go do their 1st (beer) jump! Skydive Dubai stopped the competition briefly to celebrate the UAE anniversary by showing the crowd a great 40 in free fall, The CRW (not to be outdone) showed off with a 16 way diamond and this topped off by Zoltan amazing us with his flying skills.
Skydive Dubai has been running so efficient with posting of scores as they become available i am quite happy to just post the link (and have to admit it does save me a little time lol) Skydive have also been providing day tapes and believe me when i say that they are nothing short of amazing……….. Check it out for yourself………..
Above is the professional edit but Albi and i still think we had more fun making our version here
It’s about that time to head on to bed. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
