"French wingsuit flyers recently completed an unbelievable stunt following a B.A.S.E. jump from the top of the Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland. Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet, known as the Soul Flyers, caught up with and flew into a plane in mid-air. As part of their project A Door in the Sky, which they had spent several months training for by completing more than 100 test flights in Empuriabrava in Spain, the duo B.A.S.E jumped from the top of the Jungfrau, one of Europe’s highest mountains, and flew into a Pilatus Porter light aircraft in mid-air. Now that's a different way to catch a flight." Poster Comment: Beyond crazy.

Amazing! They had to have planned that and practiced more than a few times before doing it for real.
It doesn't strike me as being particularly impressive. I can see why it would be attempted, but control is pretty good in those suits. The biggest & only danger would be the prop. Now do this into a helicopter, then I'll be impressed!
Those guys already have enough problems trying to avoid smacking into the ground, now you want giant whirling blades involved - chop chop!! :) “With the exception of Whites, the rule among the peoples of the world, whether residing in their homelands or settled in Western democracies, is ethnocentrism and moral particularism: they stick together and good means what is good for their ethnic group." Hey they want recognition, that's the way to get it! Not to mention the downwash from the copter blades screwing up their entry at the last second. Naturally they'd need to compensate by aiming higher. :)
