Diving past the bridge, the pilots made a sharp turn in the canyon and deployed their parachutes in a way that was most natural and unrestrained; the audience was held in awe. At 14:59, the athletes landed precisely on the platform, which was floating on the water. In less than two minutes, the first formation flight in Chongqing had been done successfully, making history.

Pilots deployed parachutes as they prepared for landing.

A perfect landing: the gorgeous scenery of Longgang was praised by the athletes

Robert Heron from Canada was the first one to be interviewed by reporters. “I love everything here; it feels fantastic diving across Shisun River Valley.” Robert was impressed by the Karst terrain at Longgang, “When flying across the bridge, I cannot hear the audience but I can feel their cheers; people are passionate here.”

Moment that the pilots landed

James Boole also praised and was satisfied with the flight after the landing. As the in-air photographer for the team, James has an extra job of taking photos for the teammates when they are diving in addition to designing the formation of the crew. It is much more difficult than other athletes.

“Asia's No.1 Flying Man” Zhang Shupeng was stable in performance as he had always been. When the feat was completed, Zhang Shupeng described how he felt to the journalists. “It is a great experience to fly in formation with top athletes from the world. At the same time, I feel more than proud to be able to enjoy the scenery at Longgang, Yunyang from up above with my fellow hobbyist friends.”

As formation flight succeeded, athletes are high-fiving.
