posted Feb 8th, 2006 - The NSL News story on February 4 covered the current record attempts of the World Team in Thailand. It took BJ Worth, his staff and all World Tram members only four more days to complete the first 400-way formation in skydiving history.

The World Team's website offers more detailed information and pictures. The daily news page of the World Team website also shows a consistent progression. The pictures of the jumps on Tuesday were already very promising, and Wednesday's success was a well deserved for the great efforts.

The word of the new record now spreads around. Northern Plains Skydiving League Director, Sandy Grillet, already informed his league following of the regional aspects of the 400-way world record:

"The Northern Plains Skydiving League would like to congratulate World Team '06 for setting a new World Record 400 Way formation. The record was set in Thailand February 8 and held for 4.25 seconds. We are proud to announce that three of our own league competitors were a part of this magnificent feat. Bob Stumm and Mary Bauer of the team Gang Green and Mike Oolman of Cockeyed all participated in the record. Bob and Mary live in Wisconsin, and Mike is from Iowa. Another Iowan, Shawn White, aka Whitey, who competed a couple of times in '04 was also a member of the World Team. A hearty Congratulations to all of you. You did us all proud. League info will be coming soon. BLUE SKIES - GO COMPETE, Sandy"

The NSL News introduced several of the VIP's already in the NSL News article last Saturday. It is a fact that many other current and former Formation Skydiving competitors and participants in regional league events helped in Thaliand to set this new and impressive world record. The NSL headquarters is just as impressed and proud as NPSL Director Sandy Grillet and sends congratulations to all participants in Thailand.
