The Wingsuit has taken on a new dimension thanks to Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet, two French BASE jumping experts known as the Soul Flyers. In this video you can see them in a project called A Door in the Sky, which consisted of jumping from one of the highest peaks in Europe to a plane in full flight.

Patrick de Gayardon performed this feat for the first time, flying in a plane in a wingsuit flight to return to the same plane. Gayardon, is a pioneer of skydiving and also one of the inventors of the wingsuit.

The idea came about by the twentieth anniversary of Gayardon’s feat. After discussing it for a while, the Soul Flyers wanted to do something similar, but this time from a cliff! The purpose was to show the difficulty of the jump. The objective was to get stuck in the movement to be able to reproduce it perfectly when jumping from a cliff.

Once the training began, the Soul Flyers realized that it was complicated and very mental. It was necessary to be completely focused. During the first training session in Spain, Fred managed to enter and Vince failed, injuring his ribs when trying to enter. A month later they resumed training with better results. The first day, they managed to return four or five times each on the plane. It was a difficult job, they needed a lot of technique, concentration, teamwork and communication to ensure that the project was successful and without unpleasant surprises.

“It’s a nice and strange sensation at the same time! We are used to jumping from the plane, but not to enter in it. The feeling is quite strange. When you’re on the plane you see how your friend flies closer and closer, it’s incredible. In the end we were excited because we have worked hard to make this project work. ”

This has been the most intense project in the history of the Soul Flyers, who recently made a parachute jump over the bay of Cannes and offered an amazing performance with the French National Anthem “La Marseillaise”, in the Red Bull Air Race World Championship Air Races in France, a motor sports competition that combines speed, precision and risk control. Definitely one of the best times of the year!

Watch the video above to watch the duo launch from the top of the Jungfrau peak in the Alps and then reach the small plane. It is incredible, to see them enter into the plane, it is all a madness of nerves and adrenaline that invades you
