3rd International Artistic Wingsuit Competition

For those of you who don't read dropzone.com regularly; The date and location for the 3rd edition of the International Artistic Wingsuit Competition has been set.

The competition will be held at Terni, Italy again, like last year. The dates are September 11-14 (Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday). Thursday and Friday are available as training days.

'Wings over Gransee' (in Germany; a solo time, distance, and speed competition) is directly after the 3rd International Wingsuit Competition, giving visitors from outside Europe a great opportunity to come and play, and enter in multiple competitions.

There will soon be another website update with more information on travel, accomodation, and of course the competition details. We'll post about it here again the minute its online.

The website can be found at wingsuitcompetition.com

More details on the teams already signed up can be found at dropzone.com.
The thread also lists people who are looking for teammates and/or cameramen, and is the place for other misc. questions and announcements.

Wingsuit featured on the frontpage of Aviation Magazine in Argentina

Juan 'Melon' Mayer writes:

This is the cover of the Aviation Magazine using a wingsuit photo. This is first time that an Aviation Magazine from South America is putting an skydiving photo on the cover and recognizing a wingsuit as a WING.

The guy on the cover is a member of our Argentinian Wingsuit Team ANEMOI.

Congratulations to all the wingsuit flyers from SouthAmerica that have been and are working very hard for that!!!
