Video: Serene, Surreal, & Spectacular - Skydiver Meets Sailplane
The guy you probably consider crazy in this video really isn't, but he is an out-of-the-box aviation thinker! His name is Loic Jean Albert... he's one of the world's best at wingsuit flying. You've probably seen him in one of those wild 'flying your body down the side of a mountain' videos on youtube. He's been at it quite a while and has some amazing accomplishments to his credit. This means he's either extremely skilled, with a good eye toward considering all the risks, or he's part flying squirrel. I'll leave that up to you to decide : )
This video, from back in 2007, has a very special quality to it. Even if you still consider it a crazy act, I think you'll be able to feel the peace and tranquility of it all. And, this is one of the few aviation videos that actually benefits from having some music tracked in. Otherwise, my avgeek video-making friends should remember to let the airplanes make the music!
Please. Enjoy.
