PD Flight-1 Canopy Course

Tuesday, 29.11.2011

In collaboration with PD flight-1, our Instructors Academy organized a 5-days Canopy Course at Greek Freefall Club in Greece. This course was one of the first canopy courses in Greece ever and the demand was great. We were pleased to welcome PD Flight-1 team member Brian Vacher for his essential and advanced courses. The participants were amazed by the knowledge and the skills and each one of them gave a very positive feedback to the course. Another milestone has been reached for GFFC club members on the way to compete with European Standards. We thank Brian for such an amazing course  as well as thank all 25 participants for joining!

Due to the great demand, we will repeat and organize another Canopy Course with Brian during January 20-23, 2012. Registration now open!
