Budd Davisson's

www.airbum.com is the home page of legendary aviation writer, photographer, flight instructor, and pilot of nearly everything that has existed with wings, Bud Davisson.  This web site can keep you busy for weeks with hundreds, if not thousands, of articles and photographs and so far 122 pilot reports on everything from a J3 cub to Space Ship 1.  Also contains a link to Bud's Pilot Report podcasts at www.flightjournal.com.  This is one of our favorite aviation web sites.

What do you get when someone is bored with jumping out of airplanes?  You get BASE jumping where people skydive off of Buildings, Antennas, Spans (bridges), and Earth (mostly cliffs).

What happens when someone gets bored with BASE jumping?  You get wingsuit BASE jumping.  Wingsuits basically give you a suit with webs under your arms and between your legs so you can fly horizontally as well as falling vertically sort of like a flying squirrel.  Combine that with jumping off of a cliff and buzzing the terrain below you with 100 mile per hour horizontal speeds and you have one of the most amazing to watch videos we have ever seen.

More information and videos are available at http://www.phoenix-fly.com/.  We are hoping to have a wingsuit base jumper as on of our guests on next weeks show.
