Cross Channel Freefall (DVR-Callais)
i'd like to thank all the ATC Personell involved for your outstanding service making it possible that we got a Clearance up to FL310 (with a Skyvan) with a continiuous descend across the channel to follow Mr. Baumgartner.
As a Matter of fact, the Channel crossing went very well and he was under canopy at about 5000ft directly above the landing zone. An inofficial record has been set for longest Freefall (no drouge) and logest freefall distance.
Thanks again London ACC
