2011 Lodi Ninety Swoop Money Meet

How did the Lodi Ninety Meet start?

The Parachute Center of Acampo / Lodi (often known as Skydive Lodi) does not
tolerate "any turn below 500 feet in excess of 90 degrees that takes less than 5
seconds."

This begs the question, "How fast can a canopy go with just a 90 degree turn?"  
How much performance can a good canopy pilot squeeze out of a 90 degree
swoop? 25% of canopy terminal? 50%? 90% 100%?

The organizer of the meet just HAD to find out, thus the world's first 90 degree
swoop money meet, held on 11/14 - 11/15, 2009 at Lodi.

Now we're back, bigger and faster!  Please join us again, for the second time!  It's
guaranteed to be more fun!
