Default Jolly long wingsuit flight by #904

There is this rumor that #904 on his first ever wingsuit BASE jump has done an amazingly long wingsuit flight, so long that he opened his Troll just over the landing at a famous South Europe terminal wall.
Fu(king amazing wingsuit flight. The speed was such that from exit point we have been able to hear the noise of his wings for a long while. And again, from exit point his flight looked really fast, to get over the landing in about 40".
And in the afternoon he did exactly the same, this time with quite a strong turbulence all over the air space from exit to landing, but, you know, if you are flying so fast with your wingsuit, you just don't give a flying fu(k to any wind of any sort :+ (on this load, because of the terrible turbulence, there have been 3 jumpers landing off field (uneventfully) and 3 jumpers landing in the designated landing area).

Stay safe out there

Nice one Tom! Sounds like the trip was a blast Andrea! sorry I could not make it along! but I hear my rig got to jump anyway - after being called up in the morning from the exit point as i sit my sorry busted up arse on the sofa! Just as Tom makes a cool wingsuit jump I made a good delay on my crutches from the exit point "Toys R us" and manged to pull off an X-Box which I think should keep me busy for the next several months!............ the sounds of the crutches could be heard for many seconds after exit from Toys R Us.......... :-(

Thanks for being the host Andrea......... eventually I will get to meet you........ maybe next year for me..... I have a long road ahead........

Thanks again mate! appreciate it!
