Dr. Oksana Golubtsova , USPA D-39764, BS D-117214, FAI D-000646.
Oksana made her first three military parachute jumps in 2000, in Kyiv, Ukraine, her home country, to return to sport parachuting in May 2016 at the Para-club Namur, in Belgium. With around 1500 jumps under her belt, she is now a USPA (American Parachute Association) coach in formation skydiving. She also holds this qualification within the British Skydiving (UK Parachute Federation).
Oksana has always been passionate about bigway skydiving, a discipline in which she has taken part in several national and state records. She regularly participates in high-level invitational events in the United States and Europe: P3 Power Play, Arizona Challenge, All American, Hohemens Challenge, Klatovy Challenge & Perris Games with Patrick Passe, etc.
She also trains in sequential FS in 4-way, 8-way and 16-way, both outdoors and in the wind tunnel.
On the professional front, Oksana is (among other things) CFO at Flight-1 and Flight-1 Technologies. It is therefore quite natural that, in recent years, and especially thanks to Flight-1's canopy piloting coaching, she has become adept at this discipline. She considers herself a "baby swooper" and continues to train passionately in swooping and flocking (relative flight under canopy and without contact).
Oksana is proud to jump Sun Path Javelin Odysseys, Cookie G3 helmet,
CYPRES AAD, Performance Designs Sabre 3 107 and Jyro's Safire 3 119.
