This is one really funny commercial. This skydiver wannabe is confronting his fear while looking down from the airplane. Yeah, he really doesn’t want to jump… but his instructor makes a generous offer throwing out some beer( catch it if you can! ). Seems this is one offer the pilot cannot refuse… See ya, dude!!!

Jeb Corliss is a professional BASE jumper, skydiver, and wingsuit flyer. “BASE” is an acronym that stands for the four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump:
* Building
* Antenna (an uninhabited tower such as an aerial mast)
* Span (a bridge or arch)
* Earth (a cliff or other natural formation)
On April 2006, Jeb Corliss was arrested while attempting to jump from the observation deck of the Empire State Building. As a result he was fired and banned from all future Discovery Networks projects (he had been hired as host of the Discovery Channel program Stunt Junkies). Anyway check out this great video featuring Jeb Corliss having fun all over the world jumping from all sorts of things. Also included is some wingsuit action. Enjoy!
The Patrouille Acrobatique de France commonly referred to as Patrouille de France and sometimes abbreviated as PAF, is the precision aerobatic demonstration team of the French Air Force. Pilots fly the Dassault-Breguet/Dornier Alpha Jet since 1981. Jump inside the cockpit of the Patrouille de France pilots for an amazing ride. Feel what they feel as they fly in close formation with precision and elegance. Sensations…
The Federation Aeronautique Internationale (FAI) started a project a few years ago. The FAI World Grand Prix Project aims at :
* developing and popularising Air Sports as an image of precision and accuracy, technical performance, individual achievement and team spirit.
* offering a testing bench and a practice field for advanced technologies.
* arousing vocations for aeronautical careers by attracting young people to dynamic and spectacular events.
Great portraits of Svetlana Kapanina, Peter Besenyei and The Matadors at the FAI World Grand Prix held in 2002 in Japan.
