Pilot cousins will attempt to skydive into each other's PLANES after putting them into 120mph nosedives 14,000 feet above Arizona in never-before-seen air stunt
2022-04-21
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] That's why they call them loop-loops.
  • On April 24, skydiving cousins Luke Aikins and Andy Farrington will make history with the first-ever dual skydive into separate airplanes

  • The Red Bull Air Force pilots will be the first to ever try a stunt that combines formation flying and skydiving

  • On Sunday the pair will take off from Sawtooth Airport in Elroy, Arizona, both piloting their own Cessna 182 single-seat aircrafts 14,000 feet in the air

  • Once side by side in the air the planes will fall into a nosedive at 120 mph, using a custom airbrake that holds the aircrafts in a controlled decedent

  • During descent, Aikins and Farrington will freefly skydive into the others aircraft and take control of the planes, completing the plane swap
