Photographer Michael McGowan took this shot of DeLand Fire over Perris Valley Skydiving in California during the 2005 USPA National Skydiving Championships, where they earned the right to represent the U.S. in 4-way at the world championships August 5-11 in Gera, Germany.  With their new cameraman, Jonathan Tagle, they won a hard-earned gold in the meet and are now world champions.  The team in 2005 included Ian Bobo, Natasha Montgomery, Shannon Pilcher, Gary Smith and camera flyer Eric Taylor.
