Weird But True

Daredevils dive off mountain into flying plane

Astonishing footage shows two brave daredevils wingsuiting into a moving plane.

The heart-stopping clip shows Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet flying into the specially made aircraft at 85 miles per hour over the Swiss Alps.

Both men jumped from the Jungfrau mountain at 13,000 feet before completing the incredible stunt.

The daring duo were celebrating the 20th anniversary of thrillseeker Patrick de Gayardon jumping from a plane before wingsuiting back in.

Fugen and Reffet both wore headcams to capture the vertigo-inducing action.

The pair maintained contact with the plane’s pilot by using a push-to-talk system to help coordinate the audacious feat.

The heroic daredevils said in a statement: “It was the most intense project of our career. You need to have skills, focus and there’s also a lot of work.”

“We had to make the plane safe so we don’t hurt ourselves if we touch it. We also worked on the parachutes so they don’t open too fast in case we touch the plane.”

“But the biggest risk was when we BASE jumped from the cliff. That’s why we wanted to train so much before going to the mountain. In total, we flew into the plane 20 times.”
