Did you know that the William H. Ottley 4-way Sword had only four plates in 1983?
posted: Nov 7th, 2023 The NSL News coverage of Blue Magic's 40-year anniversary was not complete, even though the leaderboard of the FAI World Championship of Formation Skydiving 1983 and also a freefall video of Blue Magic in action were a part of the update from long ago. In fact, the video footage was not provided by the FAI/ISC authority. The judging and scoring was done in a very different way at that time, and some of the teams had their own unofficial team videographer whose footage could be used only for training purposes. Formation Skydiving competition was in the middle of the transition from live judging... (more)

Did you know that 4-way juniors competed against 4-way seniors in four Indoor Cloud League categories?
posted: Nov 6th, 2023 The Indoor Cloud League teams at the Hurricane Factory and iFLY Dallas had their own remote showdown on the July leaderboard. It was in the summer time of the Czech Republic, and Jan Klapka had only 4-way juniors available, while the senior competitors spent their time mostly with outdoor activities. Only the former juniors of the Skywalkers participated in both environments. Most of the ICL competitors at iFLY Dallas were busy with their own outdoor preparations for the USPA Nationals 2023, as well. In fact, the situation in August was even closer to the national outdoor championship in the... (more)

Did you know that the next NSL Live Talk with NMP PCH HayaBusa was Storytelling?
posted: Nov 3rd, 2023 The opportunity of meeting the best teams in the world of Formation Skydiving competition does not come up very often. The major FAI/ISC events, world championships and world cups, brings them usually together to the same place at the same time. Other than that, fans and journalists can find them only at their training sites. There are a few other events that may attract them to travel there, as well, while that is mostly coincidental, even though the top teams are looking for challenging meet opportunities for themselves and sometimes even coordinate their competition schedules with other top...

posted: Oct 31st, 2023 Outdoor scores from Switzerland at major FAI/ISC events have been rare in the most recent years. Airheads competed at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2018, which is the last time in the NSL News records.
