                      Thursday, December 23, 2021

  Mr. BISHOP of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, today, I rise to pay 
tribute to the Airspeed XP8 8-Way Formation Skydiving Team, which won 
the gold during the recent World Skydiving Championship in Russia. Team 
Airspeed XP8 is based out of Raeford, North Carolina. The team competed 
during MONDIAL 2020, the largest world skydiving championship in 
history. This year's event brought together the greatest skydiving 
athletes in the world from more than 33 countries. Even just competing 
is a huge honor and privilege, and Airspeed XP8's taking the gold is 
truly an extraordinary achievement. I am proud to salute the fine 
athletes who worked so hard and have accomplished so much and am 
honored to represent them in Congress.
