Did you know that only two registered teams have yet to appear in Eloy?
posted: Oct 17th, 2026 Saturday turned out to be the busiest day since the NSL News arrived at Skydive Arizona. The weather remained threatening throughout the day, but fortunately, it never disrupted skydiving operations. All teams had opportunities to warm up, thanks to the Skydive Arizona staff and Twin Otter fleet, which were ready to handle the busy schedule. Only two of the 13 registered 4-way Open Class teams had yet to appear: Skywalkers Most from the Czech Republic and Flyspot Sky4Four from Poland. Both still have Sunday to arrive, with the final day of training jumps also available before the competition... (more)

Did you know that Airbus Members Alexander Prendinger and Felix Pfeiffer take on 4-way and 8-way double duties for the second time?
posted: Oct 17th, 2026 Friday brought another day of weather conditions that prevented participants in the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 from training at Skydive Arizona, along with all other skydiving activities. This time, strong winds swept through the area throughout the day, while blowing sand and dust also compromised visibility. However, Arizona weather can change quickly, and Saturday morning brought the expected conditions for jumping. Teams and competitors were eager to make the most of the remaining days before the competition begins, taking the opportunity to complete training jumps they had missed.... (more)

Did you know that the race for 4-Way Open Class gold goes beyond winning in Eloy?
posted: Oct 16th, 2026 The NSL News published its last update on the Fun Flag situation on July 20th, followed by additional information a day later. Those updates were an almost desperate appeal to restore the Fun Flag to its original purpose and make it part of the formation skydiving community and its events once again. It was a welcome development when competitors at other skydiving events decided to fly the Fun Flag at their own competitions, adding an extra element of fun while reminding participants of another important aspect of competition. However, the Fun Flag was created by the formation skydiving community... (more)

Did you know that training in Eloy intensifies by the day?
posted: Oct 15th, 2026 Day by day, Skydive Arizona is getting busier as teams and competitors continue to arrive, warm up, and familiarize themselves with the facilities ahead of the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026. Thursday was one of the final four days available for participants to complete their preparations, with Round 1 of the Formation Skydiving events scheduled to begin on Monday morning. Thursday once again began with both French 4-way teams on the earliest loads of the day. Nephtys Maubeuge is under relatively little pressure to fine-tune the team performance ahead of the competition. With limited opposition... (more)

Did you know that Gary Smith expects a three-team battle for FAI gold?
posted: Oct 15th, 2026 The NSL News’ Coaches Corner at the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026 begins with Gary Smith. Many experienced and professional coaches are competing at the event with their own teams, but that is not the case for Gary Smith. Originally from South Africa, he now lives on the Dutch island of Texel. Gary Smith was available at the end of Wednesday’s training. He was not particularly busy just yet, as his main responsibilities with NMP PCH HayaBusa and Germany’s Airbus 4-way team had not begun in earnest. However, he was already putting his coaching skills to work, helping the Dutch 4-way... (more)

Did you know that Aethers Lille compete with Clementine Le Bohec in place of Mathieu Quizy?
posted: Oct 14th, 2026 Ideal weather returned on Wednesday morning, and Skydive Arizona became a hive of activity as teams and competitors continued to arrive. News and updates from across the formation skydiving world were plentiful, keeping the NSL News busy collecting the latest developments while also following the teams’ training activities. There were several surprises, including breaking news, amid the training sessions taking place just days before the official start of the FAI Outdoor World Championship 2026. Perhaps the biggest news was confirmation that the lineup of France’s national 4-way Open team,... (more)
