Team Elite sets new
standards at SkyQuest 2004
Contribution by Sarah McCarthy
SkyQuest 2004 added a new
segment to the event variety, the TEAM ELITE, an invitational 40-way group
effort headed by Guy Wright and Louis Tommaso. The
team players came from the United States, Canada, Sweden and Brazil, comprised
of 40 - 50 sequential skydivers. The skydives were designed to be challenging
and fun, and they were.
All participants were upbeat,
positive, and there were lots of grins. The focus was on getting the job
done, and also on the team dynamics. Our goals were to be safe, have fun,
complete the dives to provide a good show for the public event at Fantasy
of Flight. We accomplished all of them. TEAM ELITE clicked.

We were blessed to have
a great camera guy with Phil Roberson from Pepperell, Mass. He did a fantastic
job, and you can view his work on his website: www.philroberson.com. Norm
Kent also participated in some of the videography for TEAM ELITE.
The weather was superb. It's
Florida in the Fall!!!!!!
Fantasy of Flight is located
between Orland and Tampa, in Polk City, Fl. It's a privately owned
unique facility displaying vintage aircraft and flight simulators.
Cudos to Guy and Louie. They
did a fantastic job for us. More will be revealed next year.
