radical_flyer 0 #34 March 8, 2016 No, they only flew out, the video is reversed to make it look like they flew in. At least I think that's what happened. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

galda 0 #42 May 11, 2016 The question should be: how much altitude can one gain in a wingsuit? I know the answer is at least 40m (130ft, according to Flysight) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
