In an unbelievable act of daredevilry, French wingsuit flyers accomplished an amazing stunt following a base jump from the top of Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland. In the thrilling Red Bull video, Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet, known as the Soul Flyers, land safely mid-air into a moving plane.
The Independent reported that in a Red Bull interview, Fugen and Reffet trained for months for the stunt and completed more than 100 test flights in Empuriabrava in Spain. The pair said they wanted to recreate a stunt carried out by wingsuit flyer Patrick de Gayardon 20 years ago.
Wingsuit flying is a sport of gliding through the air using a wingsuit, which expands the surface area of a wearer using material between the arms and legs.
"We're used to jumping from the plane, but here you have to enter into it. You're falling down and all of a sudden there's no air anymore. When you're in the plane and you see your friend flying closer and closer, it's incredible. It was very emotional," Reffet said..
