Did you know that 4-way world champion Natasha Montgomery is doing well after a crash with a helicopter?
posted: Sep 28th, 2009 Good and bad news at the same time reached the NSL News last week. A helicopter crash near San Diego in California was related to Natasha Montgomery, 4-way world champion with DeLand Fire in Germany 2006. The bad news was the fact that Natasha Montgomery was indeed the pilot of her own Robinson R-44 chopper, which crashed in the rugged mountain area. The good news is that all people on board survived and were treated only for injuries. Airspeed member Craig Girard said that Natasha Montgomery had already responded to text messages when he spoke with the NSL News last week. (more)

Sebastian Tempest joined Rhythm on this trip after a great performance at the September meet of the Florida Skydiving League. Spaceland Blue's all-female lineup has been another NSL News candidate for breaking the Mass Defiance record. A new lineup has to... (more)
