Wingsuit Proximity Flying

Some folks fly in aircraft. Some fly in spacecraft. Others fly in suits with wings. Jeb Corliss is a Californian and a professional flyer who owns one of those suits. On September 25, 2011, he flew through a hole in Tianmen Mountain in Hunan Province, China. All in a days work.

Here is a video of that flight. The reporter adds little to the story, but the flight is certainly dramatic as is the remarkable landscape of one of China's most popular national parks.

OTR wonders what this guy does for recreation.
