The meet story with more pictures and NSL-TV is next on the webmaster's agenda. By the way, the Sinapsi PD members surprised event manager Kurt... (more)

Have you heard that Skydive Sebastian hosted the last FSL meet in January 2003? posted: Jan 18th, 2003 The first meet of the Florida Skydiving League 2003 brought seven teams to Skydive Sebastian on a very cold morning.
The host was well prepared for the start of the FSL 2003 season with a Skyvan to fly the local 16-way team and fun jumpers and a Twinotter for the teams. Both aircraft are from Cross Keys, NJ. The event location was the site of the USPA Nationals in 1999 and is set up very well for a competition.
While the jumpers had above average facilities and aircraft, the NSL staff was spoiled by the location. Chief Judge Richard Schachner had his own almost private judging room. NSL President... (more)
