Action
from the 2002 ADFPA National Championships at RAAF Base
Wagga.
|
THE
Australian Defence Force Parachute Association (ADFPA) is looking
for members of the Air Force who are interested in forming a single
service team for this year’s national championships in Wagga
in December.
Operational
tempo in recent years has seen a marked decrease in Air Force
competitors available for competition.
However,
the recent establishment of an Air Force Sports Parachute Association
should result in a stronger team being fielded at this year’s
event.
Members
are urged to register their team with the ADFPA as soon as possible.
Jumpers not in a team can register with the ADFPA, who will put
them in contact with other military members in their area.
Teams
are required in four-way formation, swoop accuracy, classic accuracy
and four-way canopy rotations.
The
championships are open to all ADF members, including reservists,
holding a current APF B licence.
The
2002 national championships, held in the skies over RAAF Base
Wagga last November and December, were a huge success, attracting
more than 130 competitors from Australia and abroad.
The
2003 championships, also being held at RAAF Base Wagga, will run
from December 1-12 and is sure to attract similar numbers.
To
register your interest in forming a team, or to have your name
placed on the ADFPA e-mail list, contact association president
Captain Neale McIver on (07) 3332 7742 or e-mail neale.mciver@defence.gov.au
