Default Red Bull High Altitude Skydives

Hi,

The video below was taken at a Minnesota Soaring Club member meeting a week
or 2 ago. Brian Utley is a soaring pilot and also (as a hobby) validates
world records for the FAI. He was there for one of Steve Fossett's around
the world flights in the jet. The video shows Brian giving an overview of
the Red Bull high-altitude skydive jumps so far. I found it fascinating.
Their goal is to set records for the highest altitude jump, and also for the
highest speed.
