Several bay area pilots are participating in the West Coast Wingsuit Weekend in Lodi this weekend-

30 wingsuiters flying in formation, dual planes, smoke.

Free Observer rides for local pilots that come out and support: you will be in the co-pilot seat, watch the flyers jump, and take a hair raising dive back down which will make you wish you had a parachute...

formations clearly visible from the ground with the naked eye-

Hey Dave, nice photo, you guys are nuts!
Your wing suits are a trip!!!
The airfoils keep getting bigger and more defined and you are copping a glide at least as good as an old Rogallo, maybe better.
Maybe someday you could put extensions on your suits to give them a bigger wing span, and maybe some battens for a better airfoil, and maybe a frame of some sort to steer the bigger wing.......... ;-)

BTW, are you in the photo or are you behind the camera?
