Tunnel
Camp Programme
By
Dave Sumter
At the beginning of next year the
SA skydiving team will be launching
a tunnel camp programme in the UK Bedford
tunnel. These camps will focus on developing
FS flying skills in an accelerated
manner. Over the last couple of years
the national team has been working
hard to improve South Africa's performance
at an international level. We realize
that to continue this successful process
of improvement we're going to need
talented new recruits.
We see these tunnel camps as an essential
tool for identifying new talented skydivers,
and quickly developing their skills
to an advanced level. Wind tunnels
will never fully replace the requirement
to train out of airplanes, but they
serve invaluable when developing flying
skills. We're creating a camp program
that will be targeted at the level
of training South African skydivers
need, and hopefully at a cost and location
that is more accessible than some of
the other camp programs out there.
If you'd like more information on
one of these upcoming camps, please

We look forward to seeing
you in the air..
