Wondering if anyone has heard of the new hybrid formations?

Of free flyers and belly flyers or high-performance canopy flyers and folks in a wing-suit?

Right on....

I've been out of the sport since 2000 (damn finances!) so bear with me.

Tony Uragallo, Brian Germain and the guys from Tony Suits were doing sit and RW jumps at Quincy (WFFC) in 98 I think. I’m sure some other folks were doing it previously, but they were building “multi-story” 10-16 ways. Parachutist had a cover photo in 2000 of a freefly/ RW 3 way, so they’re being done. How regularly and where, I don’t know. I haven’t paid much attention to it in the last year. Wow, it’s been 2 ½ years since my last jump. That sucks. :(
I saw an article on-line with photos where a 3.6:1 Icarus VX or PD Velocity pilot docked with a jumper in a modified wingsuit over Deland sometime last year, I think. That was pretty neat.

Awesome helmet BTW. Really nice looking. A fine tribute to those men.

Edit: Did anyone know Lonnie Willer in NC? He died in 98 after a canopy collision at Fayard's place in Louisburg. I'm told he was a former SF officer. Damn fine human being. I really liked the guy. He sacrificed himself so that the other jumper could cut away. That was the one weekend that I went to Raeford instead of CSS. Blue Skies, Lonnie.
