fergs 0 #1 September 8, 2003 A funny thing happened on the way to the office this morning …. I jumped my GTi from a balloon over Canberra, here in Australia. On the load were 5 other jumpers, including a tandem – I was the only wingsuit. It was just great – early morning take off – a thin layer of frost on the ground (yes, we are southern hemisphere so it is end of winter here), but crystal clear sky. We took off and had a nice climb over town – Parliament House, the City Centre – climbed up to around 7,000’ and exited over one of the local sports fields. After the first few seconds of dead air (fun in itself!!!) the flight was routine, apart from the fact that I was gliding over town and not a DZ. I’d certainly recommend a balloon wingsuit jump for anyone who has the opportunity. They’re a blast!!!! Blue Skies, fergbird Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
