Another celebration deserves broadcasting: our team member Julian Barthel is on the run and just exceeded the 400 jump-hurdle. Julian, you have been busy in the sky over the last weeks! Well done and congratulations from us all! Happy 400!!

It has been done!! Congratulations to Gary Johnson (UK) for his AFF course completition! Well done! Now, welcome to the skydiving world and let the real fun begin! 🙂

We are pleased to go “back to the roots” and to conduct another USPA Coach Rating Course at Skydive Jumpzone in Kührstedt, Germany. The three candidates were looking forward to this opportunity and to get started in the skydiving instructional area. We are happy to be a part of it and congratulate:

– Rudy Manente

Thank you for your participation and good luck with your rating. Also, we thank Skydive Jumpzone and especially Toni and Peter for their hospitality!

During our stay at Skydive Fano, we were also pleased to conduct a USPA AFF Instructor Course during May 12-17, 2011. We did not manage to get 100% success rate but we will retry in the near future for those candidates who did not achieve their goal. In the meantime we thank you all for participation and congratulate the following new USPA AFF Instructors:

– Andrea Cardinali

Once more THANK YOU to Sebsatiano and Livio for the assistance and the hosting of this course. It was a pleasure training with you and we really enjoyed our stay! See you again soon at the beautiful Skydive Fano!
