NZPF Big Way Skills Camp 2022

We are planning a week-long big way skills camp (flat flying) in Taupo starting 4 April 2022. Big thanks to TTS for having us! We will start with smaller formations and hopefully build up to attempting a new NZ record by the end of the week. If we have enough willing and able participants we will attempt a new NZ Ladies Record and a new NZ Record.

We are still working out the details of this event, but we would like you to register your interest NOW (pretty please) so we can understand if there is enough interest. DO IT! Please note that there will be minimum experience requirements for this event. Registering your interest does not guarantee you a slot at the camp (see requirements below). We will work out costs and other details as soon as we can.

April 4 & 5th – Big way warm up camp with ladies record attempt if we have enough interest. Boys are welcome to come to this part of the camp too. This is intended to be a 2 day warm up camp, weather day is 6th April.

April 7th to 10th – Big way camp with NZ record attempt. Multi plane formations and hopefully building a 40 way or as big as we can safely go. You must come to all 4 days of the big way camp if you want to take part…even if you are a big way ninja.
