Land a WingSuit? Y'all gotta be kiddin' me.

In one of Jebs base demo vids he is flying relative in his wingsuit to a plane. Maybe he should try getting back into the plane before he tries landing on earth.

He tried that. Booked the plane and tried it over Elsinore. Didn't make it.

Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon

Pretty ironic that Patrick de Gayardon (who pulled off the above stunt) was more concerned with figuring out how to take off with a wingsuit than land it. Modern day wingsuits, skysurfing, high altitude skydives without oxygen, RW, freeflying, BASE - he was and always will be the man.

To be fair, people were trying to fly in 1853. The laws of physics didn't change in 1903, but the pilots (and more importantly the airplanes) sure did.
