Beat The Big City Traffic By Just Becoming A Human Meteor [1/2] - A Human Meteor.jpg (1/1)

Yesterday on Twitter a few people noticed a stream of light above the evening
Los Angeles skyline. Some called it a UFO, others thought it was a meteor.
Either way, it was seen all over the city flying down directly into downtown,
some even thought it hit a building. In fact, it was just a trio of winged suit
flyers (Jon DeVore, Mike Swanson, and Andy Farrington) shooting across LA to get
up close to the last Super Moon of this decade.

@LAPDHQ later fired off a tweet saying

PSA: A meteor did not crash into Downtown Los Angeles, and no, it’s not an alien
invasion...just a film shoot. This is Tinseltown after all.

The Future Of Mobility Is Wingsuits, reads some silicon valley VC’s email inbox
pitch tomorrow morning.

It came out this morning that Red Bull was behind the stunt, because of course
they were. It might have been a little bit out of touch to make this flight
quite so visible, or have the flight path travel so close to a building. Maybe
making people afraid isn’t the best way to promote your brand, Red Bull.

It’s really difficult to get across Los Angeles in a car, so maybe this wing
suit thing isn’t such a bad idea. This seems much more plausible than flying
cars coming any time soon.

What sort of FAA clearance do you need to
"fly" thru that airspace? I remember "Lawn Chair
Larry" got in a lot of trouble for "flying" thru
the LA area......
