This month we had TWO life saves in the States and ONE in Poland.=20 Buddy from Skydive Opelika wrote: "Your AAD worked great! Will buy more .= =2E.on my student gear & tandems".. And in Skydive Taft we also had a sav= e on a AFF Level 6 - low pull.=20 And another in Poland with a 'No pull' from the student. Looks like if we= did something right. Two weeks ago, Argus was present at the US Nationals, Skydive Chicago wit= h the demo Xp rig with the AAD installed on the main container. One of the guys trying it, Zack said: "... Was fun and interesting. It's = nice to get proof/first hand experience about something we all knew about= =2E.." We're glad to have TJ Landgren and Dusty Smith on board. No need to intro= duce them! TJ and Dusty were not using any AAD before and were convinced = by our unique "Swoop" mode. Roberto (Tuelho) Luiz Souza from Brazil is living such an interesting adv= enture and visiting all (yes all) major dropzones with his "Skydive aroun= d the World", so we had to sponsor him... The June 2007 issue of Parachut= ist featured an article on his project (see www.skyaw.com.br). And, The Safety and Training committee of the Skydiving section/The Norwe= gian Air Sports Federation, approved the use of Argus AAD in Norway at th= eir meeting 6th September 2007. This approval will be publicized in the s= afety and training bulletin shortly.=20 Good job, Harald! If you have anything interesting going on, please let us know for our nex= t newsletter. Kind regards, Karel Goorts=20 Managing director Aviacom SA Mobile: +32 485 868788 ------------------------------------------------------------------- You receive this newsletter because we have been in touch about AADs in t= he past.
