Nice new photos during season 2011: the little bit different gliding-photo! With Michel Lebleux, retreated professional photographer of "Le Figaro", we had a lot of fun with creating new themes of gliding-photos - for smiling and to surprize and with a human touch! Michel is very passioned - he now is making more photos than during his professional life ... you can expect some nice ones! We will continue the project this season and will publish them in a calender or book!

Wingsuit versus Glider click on "wingsuit vs glider" on top of the page „Wingsuit versus Glider“ or the game with the performance Sponsors: Red Bull, Salomon Pilot Wingsuit: Loic Jean-Albert; www.flyyourbody.com Flying together Wingsuit – Salto! We spend one week to try what is possible in the air and to get a maximum of nice images for Red Bull and Salomon. The project is located at Gap-Tallard with nice meteorological conditions and very good service for skydivers and glider pilots. The idea was born regarding wingsuit-flights, I mean really “flights”. If you see those flights from the ground, you can see a gliding-angel, performance 2,5! So is it possible to fly together with this simple human glider and a real glider?! |

First experiments have already been done in summer of 2005. Martin Kroke takes off with his Salto by air-tow and climbs to the maximum altitude in thermals. Loic Jean-Albert jumps out of the Pilatus Porter after taking position about 200 meters vertically over the Salto. Loic tries to come close to the glider witch fly with airbrakes and a small speed break parachute (drop). First experiences shows that the size of the small parachute is the most important. The first used drop is too small, the glider accelerates too much with the same descending angle as the wingsuit; the original parachute from the salto works also bad: he turns too much with the higher speed. More experiments have been done one year later with better conditions: Loic got money from his sponsor Red Bull. We towed the Salto up to 4000 meters over the ground and Loic jumps out of the Pilatus like usual so we have more time to fly together. With the experience of last year we found the right size of the parachute soon. Flying together works very well now and Loic can play with his position to the glider like you can see in the video. |
