Look up! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a… No, it’s the Red Bull Air Force team. The team will “take a leap” at General Motors Headquarters at the Renaissance Center Wednesday to celebrate Leap Year in a memorable way.
The team will be attempting the first-ever attempt at five consecutive base jumps in five different cities on the same day, including in Detroit. The one-time event will culminate in the most accomplished skydivers, BASE jumpers, wing suit fliers, and para glider pilots on the planet essentially falling through the sky and landing near the center.
The elite 11-member Red Bull Air Force team will also jump off iconic structures in Miami, Atlantic City, Las Vegas and Squaw Valley on February 29. It will happen between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.
The Red Bull Air Force team is assembled from the most accomplished and experienced skydivers, BASE jumpers, wingsuit fliers, and paraglider pilots on the planet. With gold medals in virtually every discipline and numerous world records to their credit, the team members combine for over 100,000 skydives and 6,000 BASE jumps.
