We were really pleased to have UK Nationals girls formation skydiving team NFTO return to Skydive Algarve for a quick 2.5 days of team training.
Recently in 2018, they changed a team member as Debs Lamsley had to step down. In her place, well-known load organiser and competitor, Sian Stokes has stepped in as their new tail slot. Being a local in the sunny Algarve, she was has risen to the challenge and together, the girls managed 27 jumps in in their quick visit to Skydive Algarve, even with it being a quieter few days at the dropzone.
Why Did They Choose Skydive Algarve?
Without blowing our own trumpet, we like to think we can get people in the sky when needed. The Swallow Group of dropzones have decided in 2018 to sponsor and support a few teams who represent what we believe in and are medal hopefuls:
- NFTO – British Female 4-way Team
- Hayabusa – Belgian 4-way Team (and current world champions!)
- Satori XL – British 4-way Team
NFTO will be back for a long camp in September and of course, we will be posting more awesome pics.
“NFTO are training for the next world champs in Australia to be held in October. Skydive Algarve have the same aircraft used in the competitions – the Cessna Caravan. And what’s more, it’s a fast Caravan, so we can get the jumps in we need. I’m also rather partial to my photography and this place is hard to beat for coastal freefall shots.”
