Maybe the BirdMen who have done these jumps will have comments, what I have to comment on is what I've heard of or seen on video. You have to consider what the available resources are, and I'll list in order:

B: The tallest building in the World is about 1400 feet tall, and the highest jumpable access point is about 1200', so that's pretty much the limit of available Building altitude. I know Johnny "Utah" jumped his wingsuit from the gondola of Petronas, what can an accomplished BirdMan get from 1200'? Maybe around 10 seconds? Johnny?

A: I've seen a video of Yuri exiting an Antenna from about 2000',
and the video I saw had him flying for at about 20 seconds. Yuri?

S: I've seen a couple BirdMan jumps from NRGB during Bridge Day, that Span only gets you 876', barely time to get the thing flying, so maybe the flights were slightly beyond the 7 second NRGB limit. Tim, Smiley?

(The tallest bridge is in Colorado, 1000' or so, but I don't know that anyone has ever got off it with a wingsuit. Anyone?)

E: I heard of a 77 second flight from the Eiger by the master Pecnik! And a recent check at the http://www.Bird-Man.com web-site reports Petter doing 75 from the Troll Wall! Robert? Petter?

Like I said, maybe the masters will comment......

hi all,
I think that Yuri has more accurate logbook about the flight time!
Check w him though.
Also Yuri has made the flight from Ostankino tower recently from 380m. Delay was 13.2 seconds.
I did it from the same object 11.2''but the height were 345m

Team Bautasten members PerFlare and Martin. From one of the "new" monsterwalls close to Romsdal. PerFlare made a 83 sec flight. Martin did a 87 sec flight. I am sure that Yuri was there after us and made even longer flights. With the new suits passing 90 sec would be no problem.

Flights progress fast! A year earlier Andrea opened that wall taking a suit off an insane 4 sec rock drop ledge. Then i found the current exit point, taking 84 sec on a Classic. Next year we just missed you guys (bummer!) and got 89 at the same exit and 94 from a slightly lower Techno (on the older S3 prototype). This year nobody really bothered timing flights since the current trend is to measure distances, but over 1:45 (3.4km) in Italy and over 2min (4.3km) in CH have been done on the same old S3. Even K-tind in Norway is now routinely giving over 80sec and 2.5km.

bsbd!

Me and Martin did a 2-way wingsuit from a 4 sec rock drop, I will never do it again ... at least not with the current suits. It is do or die.

Yes, sometimes that happens but am I sure that you met Lukas for at least 30 seconds before he left for Sweden ;) I went to Sweden the day before :(

We are in to that now too, the minuteman days are over. Now distances are the main goal. Will practice and go for the one in CH again next fall. Hope to meet up with you this year.
