Hi everyone! Sorry for the lack of news updates over the last week. We have been busy in preparation for the arrival of the new aircraft. See below a collection of photos from the last few days.

	Part of our load organising team from the Dornier arrival boogie. Kutabai freefly!!

	Here she is, taking off on her first lift!

	The dropzone has been really busy over the last few days, this is now a typical scene from the hanger...

	Mark and Jay return to Lillo for some more fun jumping, they are both recent AFF graduates from here. Mark is a security consultant and Jay is a paratrooper

	Sunny days! Here is what it is like in central Spain during late October......not too bad hey??!

	Maxine (right), an experienced 4-way jumper and AFF graduate at Lillo returns to do some fun jumping.

	Eileen and Luci after an AFF jump. Eileen will return to Ireland now :-( but will hopefully be back in the next few months to further her skills.

	Looks like a plan! - Load organising by Freefall Addicts..........

	Look at the size of that door! The dimensions of our new jumpship make it an ideal aircraft for team training and will be attracting 4-way and 8-way teams to skydive Lillo from around Europe....

	We may need a bigger hanger! - There are now two full time aircraft in operation at Lillo and this is now an everyday scene after landing!

	Extreme 14 way (with camera)! Hopefully we will be building up to 25-way with both the Pilatus and Dornier by the end of the week.

	Practice makes perfect.......here you can see our load organisers taking the jumpers through a final skydive run through before the they take to the skies.....

	Here are some pictures from Eileen's course. You can see her working on practice pulls here.

	Eileen is released in freefall for the first time

	Here is Eileen on level 4

	and on level 5......

	The big way participants get ready to board the aircraft...

	2 minutes to drop.....

	Exit exit!!!

	This is a start of the build of the main part of the formation.

	Here is Mark Owen on his FS1 4-way skydive

	Look at the size of our new aircraft! - Here we are getting ready for Maxine's 300th Jump.

	Maxine's 300th Jump was a Hybrid Skydive, mixing a belly formation with Freeflyers!

	Here we are on the ground after the jump.
