Amazing

Three years of planning, 11 aircraft, hundreds of oxygen bottles, and one goal: build the biggest belly formation since 2017.

On Sunday 16th June we lost a valued member of our Skydive Wellington team, Joshua Christensen. We are all devastated.

I first met Josh late last year. As a young Commercial Pilot, he was touring around the North Island looking for opportunities in aviation. He was keen to come and live in Masterton and work with us so we developed a training plan with him to achieve this. He worked hard on advance training in tailed wheel aircraft including a Piper Cub and Chipmunk before starting a type rating in our Cessna 185. Josh was focused and gained the necessary ratings to become a Parachute Drop Pilot.

Josh was a quiet young man, with a wicked sense of humour, who very quickly integrated into our small team. He was very conscientious, got along well with our eclectic crew, and was a pleasure to work with. He is keenly missed by us all.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere condolences to the Christensen and McBride families.

The thoughts of the Skydive Wellington team go out to the families and friends of the pilots who were tragically killed on Sunday.

At the moment we do not know what happened and it will be some time before we do.

We are continuing to assist the authorities with the investigation. At this point we can’t say anything further.

We would like to thank the first responders and the wider aviation community for their support at this tragic time.
