Mike McGowan - USA

Mike McGowan has long been known as one of the best photographers in the skydiving business. During the 1980s, USPA authorized and sanctioned the creation of an AFF Training Video. Mike collaborated with Al Gramando to direct, film and edit the first training video for all seven levels of the Advanced Freefall Program. Multiple drop zones integrated these videos into their skydive training programs. In the mid 1980s, Mike, along with Sandy Williams, organized a major 20-way competition at Zephyrhills which became the first meet solely utilizing air-to-air videography to score formation skydiving. This was the birth of air-to-air judging and continues to be the standard incompetition skydiving disciplines both nationally and internationally.
