Full on sunshine and a good breeze fully motivated World Team on the second day of rehearsal dives at Wing 1 Air Base, Korat.

The dropzone is great - welcoming everyone with flags from each nation. Many tents surround the area offering shaded packing areas, a range of foods and happy salesmen supplying souveniers, gold and gems. Singha beer awaits all at the end of the day....

The original plan for today was to start 200-way dives today, but it was decided to spend another day doing 100-way rehearsal dives, which thus far have been showing improvement every dive. The base got progressively faster and faster, until it was doing aroung 120 mph. A few people had trouble with fallrates, some went low and couldn't get back up, some struggled to stay down with it.
But, everything is starting to come together really well.

The local commentator is heard on the entire dropzone as he eargerly explains the course of events while skydivers descend onto the landing area.

The German Team Captain Dieter Kirsch had a full scenic view of Korat after a premature reserve opening on exit at 20.000 feet...

Today we stick to four 100-way jumps, with the four aircraft flying by themselves and dropping one after the other. But tomorrow we'll fly the four C130's in formation, with a pass each for two 200-ways.
