Stuntmen Will Take Off and Land in Separate Cessnas in World First
Long time boundary-pusher and skydiver Luke Aikins and Andy Farrington, members of the Red Bull Air Force crew, will attempt to exchange planes while in flight. The stunt is the latest in a line of increasingly daring maneuvers from the crew, pushing the boundaries of skydiving and seeing just how far their techniques and daring can take them. In practice, the maneuver has been planned to have Aikins and Farrington, both pilots, put their Cessna 182s into a synchronized nosedive at 14,000 feet, stop the engines, cross over each other in mid-air and bring 'em down for a regular landing.
