World Team is a highly skilled international team of skydivers, camera flyers, pilots, judges, and support personnel who have established multiple world records since the team's genesis in 1994.  In addition to pursuing sporting achievements, World Team strives to enhance global knowledge and interaction between its own culturally-diverse team members—who themselves represent 40+ nations—and its host nation.

During the past eight years, World Team has forged an enduring relationship with the Kingdom of Thailand and its people.  During the Royal Sky Celebration 2006, World Team unites once again with the Royal Thai Air Force to honor the Royal Family for a rare and auspicious occasion.

In 2006, Thailand celebrates the 60th year of calm and nurturing leadership by His Majesty, King Bhumibol Adulyadej.  An inspiration to his subjects, and highly respected by world leaders around the globe, the King of Thailand is the world's longest reigning monarch.

World Team '06 and the Royal Thai Air Force plan to achieve two new world records to honor His Majesty during the Royal Sky Celebration in 2006.  The first will be to break World Team's own current Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) Largest Freefall Formation record, with 400 skydivers linked together thousands of feet above Udon Thani.  The second will be 960 parachutists conducting the Largest Mass Freefall Jump for the inauguration of the new Bangkok International Airport.  A total of 700 freefalling sportmen and women will join 260 paratroopers representing all services of the Royal Thai Armed Forces, to set this amazing new Guinness Book World Record.
