History Made: 61 Wingsuit Pilots Have Set a New World Record

An international team of wingsuit pilots have assembled at California's Perris Valley Airport, home to Skydive Perris dropzone, to attempt to claim the new world record for the largest wingsuit formation ever. Using four aircrafts the sixty-one skydivers took to the skies on October 17 to jump from 13,500 feet altitude, forming a harmonious diamond-shaped formation in order to smash the previous record set by 42 flyers earlier this year. Not only did the wingsuit flyers representing 12 countries including the US, Canada, Britain, Australia, Russia, Poland, South Africa and Israel create a new FAI record but literally flew into the Guinness record book!
