Pilots: Marco Fürst and Marco Waltenspiel In an amazing display of precision flying, Marco Fürst and Marco Waltenspiel of the Red Bull Skydive Team became the first wingsuiters ever to pass through Tower Bridge, one of London's most iconic landmarks. The Austrian aerial specialists began their trailblazing flight from a helicopter just west of the famous towers in the early hours of May 12, 2024 and, a mere 45 seconds later, had travelled 1,200m, hitting speeds of up to 246kph (153mph), landing safely on barges in the middle of the River Thames. Marco Waltenspiel: "I just feel amazing. The jump was beautiful and everything worked out really good. In the last two-and-a-half years we planned everything through and had the best preparation and training."

Pilots: Frédéric Fugen and Vincent Cotte Frédéric Fugen and Vincent Cotte were able to fly within metres of the ancient pyramids of Giza, Egypt, and get almost close enough to touch the millennia-old stones with their hands. Fugen himself didn't think this project was feasible until the local paragliding school Skydive Egypt helped him make his dream come true. Check out the amazing feat in the video above. Frédéric Fugen: "It has been absolutely amazing to get right next to these giant stones, some of the last wonders of the ancient world that are still visible today. I felt so small in front of such big monuments. I never even thought I would be able to make this flight one day."

Never stop flying
