So he's doing maybe a touch over 100 MPH and burning up his limited fuel supply pretty fast. Those jets must be flaps down and flying dirty to go slow enough for the formation.
It is pretty cool.

The wing suits, that' seems pretty hairy the flights he makes, but I am sure they are very well planned in advance. I saw in one flight, in China, he was flying under multiple cables across a gorge. Not much room for errors in height when wires are in front.

LOL That is friggin awesome!

I did notice, however, that hte jets were flying flaps down so I'm guessing they were flying about 120 knots or so, or less?

Still - that man is awesome, love watching his vids!
