Looks suspiciously legal to me..where's the fun in that?

I am surprised that this stunt was "legalized".Fox3WheresMyBanana wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 1:02 amLooks suspiciously legal to me..where's the fun in that?![]()

If so, I'm sure that a substantial amount of money changed hands, either in the form of bribes or "donations".

My approach would be "Show me where it says I can't do it".

Had to check it wasn't 1st April. Didn't say where they landed. Presume you zoom to altitude and then pull the chute?

They seem to have landed on a flat platform/barge anchored in the river.
Seen at the end of the video clip.
More indication of prior planning.

Incredible. Still amazed that they got permission.
