Vale Vincent Reffet - human flight pioneer.
Died in a training accident last week. age 36.

From a family of skydivers.
His feats including a record-breaking BASEjump from the world’s tallest building
10,000 metres jump, over Mont Blanc in France.
French national Freefly team in 2002. In 2004, he was crowned as the Freefly World Champion.
He won gold medals at the 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2009 World Championships.
BASE-jumping, canopy piloting, indoor skydiving, wingsuit flying and speed riding.

He has been trained and mentored by Yves ‘Jetman’ Rossy since 2009.

This clip is of him jumping off a mountain and into a plane.
It may look like a prank to some, but the skills and discipline needed for this led to his crucial part in Project Human Flight.
This project requires amongst the very highest level of physical, technical, intellectual and emotional skills that a human person can achieve.

So, this is really for all test pilots. that remarkable small band with extraordinary imaginations
- and the skills to pull it off.
