Yellow Jackets Skydiving Team

A high performance, fast paced skydiving demonstration team. There are three parts to our show. Sporto, Marshall and Garet usually swoop in around 70+ mph.
Yellow Jackets Skydiving Demo Team shows two of the fast paced skydiving disciplines that most demo teams do not perform; Swopping and Wingsuiting. Part 1: Swooping consists of flying a smaller than normal (typically less than 100 sq ft) cross-braced skydiving canopy so it dives toward the ground and builds up speeds in excess of 100 mph. Then flattening out the angle of attack so the person surfs
