Wingsuit skydivers fly in formation with plane they jumped from - at 100mph

  • last month
This in the incredible moment a group of wingsuit skydivers were able to fly in formation with the PLANE they had jumped from just moments earlier.

British thrill-seekers Jack Peploe and Andy Ford were among the group which pulled off the rare feat which only a handful of people have ever achieved.

The pair took to the skies above Elblag, Poland on Thursday (22/8) alongside other European daredevils to "push the boundaries of modern skydiving".

The flyers were able to soar alongside the aircraft they had exited just 20 seconds earlier - hitting speeds of 100mph from 13,000ft.

One jumper came so close the plane he was even able to touch the tyre as they descended during the 166 second fall.

Andy says the achievement is testament to the skill and precision required by both the pilot and the skydiver.

He believes only a few elite divers have pulled off the stunt since the advent of wingsuits back in 1996.
