A world-record skydive attempt will be part of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015, with an international team of top skydivers aiming to make history at The World’s Greatest Aviation Celebration.  The Skydiving Hall of Fame based in Fredericksburg, Virginia, will organize the 108-person jump team for the record attempts. EAA spokesman Dick Knapinski says the teams will practice and prepare with record attempts at Skydive Chicago in Ottawa, Illinois, before the scheduled record attempts on July 22  and 24 at Oshkosh.  The Skydiving Hall of Fame team, known as the Eagles, will jump from as high as 20,000 feet.  Any record would then be confirmed by FAI and its U.S. representative, the National Aeronautic Association.  EAA AirVenture  Oshkosh 2015 is July 20-26 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
