Women skydivers break head-first formation record over Arizona

Sixty-three women from around the world linked hands as they plunged head first toward the Arizona desert on Saturday, shattering the female vertical formation skydiving record, the U.S. Parachute Association said. The skydivers leaped from three aircraft at 18,000 feet near Eloy, about 65 miles southeast of Phoenix, said Nancy Koreen, the association's director of sport promotion. Judges of the Swiss-based Federation Aeronautique Internationale verified the record attempt at the site, she said.
