Yep, caught some air. Must feel very strange falling, and no way to regulate your motion.

Joe Kittinger says, “couldn’t have done it better myself!”
To: GRRRRR; hattend
Don’t know where you are getting your info from - neither the YouTube or Redbull have anything of the details.

I thought that was a very nice touch.
2 hours to get up there, and what, 4 minutes to get down? Like climbing Tuckerman's Ravine half an hour for a 20 second ski down.

Sheesh. They are really screwing up the wind direction!

CNN had a live feed until a few seconds before he jumped.
They just came back to show the chute open
HA! CNN just showed the jump!

Discovery channel and telegraph.uk (online) had all the details. I gather he’s on the ground now.

I thought it was classy what Kittinger said too.
To: GRRRRR
Helicopter crew improved the odds of being near where the landing occured.
