2012 Australian 120-150 way record
attempts
Australian Large Formation Skydiving has taken a massive leap
forward since the Australian National Record was set in 2010,
when a large group of Australians left our shores for the United
States of America to build the largest Australian Formation
Skydive. The man who was instrumental in this endeavour was Greg
Jack, along with the help of the P3 team, he accomplished what he
set out to achieve almost two years prior. As it turned out Greg
got more than he bargained for: three consecutive Australian
Records which turned out to be an unofficial world record (three
consecutive large formation skydiving records on the same day).
112 Skydivers sat in room after the 105 and 109 formations to
hear the words from the great Dan B.C. "One record is great,
two is out of this world, but three is just plain out right
stupid" and it was done. Now the future for Australian
Skydivers is set out to be bigger, better and safer!
