About

Wingsuit formation flying, sometimes referred to as “flocking”, has made rapid strides as a discipline. In 2009, for the first time, three countries began recognizing official national records in wingsuit formation: the United States, South Africa, and Australia. The largest national record is the United States’, a 68-way formation.

In January 2010, the International Parachuting Committee, the skydiving section of the FAI (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, or World Air Sports Federation) formed a Wingsuit Working Group that will make recommendations in 2011 about adding no-contact wingsuit formation records as a category. This would allow all countries to adopt the same record definition, and make world records possible. Members of the Working Group are: Jacqui Bruwer (South Africa; Chair); Larry Bagley (USA); and Ronald Overdijk (Netherlands). Non-voting advisors are Taya Weiss and Jarno Cordia. For more information about the working group and to participate in discussions, please visit the forum on the FAI website.
