Flying
November 10th, 2007 by Larry D. Burton
This is possibly the most incredible thing I’ve ever seen. I know y’all have seen these people jumping out of airplanes in these wingsuits and the camera shows them flying around with no close background to use to really judge what they are doing or how fast they are traveling. The guys are base jumping off some mountain in Norway with these suits and you do have very close background to judge how fast they are going and what stunts they are actually performing.
<sigh> I was born about thirty years too late.

Hey, if George the elder is still jumpin’ out of airplanes, no reason you can’t too!
(Although I’ve gotta say, those guys are freakin’ nuts!)
Jumping out of airplanes is one thing, and I haven’t completely ruled that out though the shape of my knees tends to make me think the likelihood of it is less and less, base jumping in a wing suit is something else entirely. I don’t think I have the reaction time needed to do that anymore.
