Video: Wingsuit Base Jumping I

Here’s probably the greatest video out there right now of Wingsuit Base Jumping. If you know of any better one(s), please let me know. This is Loic Jean Albert and his buddies flying around cliffs and buzzing a road.

INSANE!!!

LYNXjet

Wish me luck I’m gonna need it.

Below is my email to Unilever Corporation asking for permission to use original, raw LYNXjet content in PlaneMadness.Com as well as asking if they can bring the LYNXjet concept back because it was just so awesome. Believe me I know how futile this is, but dammit somethings in life that are this good and have to do with aviation just need to be immortalized.

Hello. I have an aviation themed podcast and website and I’d like to feature original content from your LYNXjet campaign. I see that you provide a way for your users to embed third party content from your Axe brand into their social networking sites, blogs, etc; I’d just like to do the same with LYNXjet, but featuring original content on PlaneMadness.Com and original audio in The PlaneMadness Podcast. It would be promoting your product at no charge to you as I have a worldwide audience. By the way, could you please bring the LYNXjet & scantily clad flight attendant concept back, it was fantastic. (Sorry to ask for too much).

Best regards
Chris
