The Sick Moon Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 ‘The first person to wingsuit over the Isle of Man’. That’s the title Roger Hughes took yesterday (WED) when he jumped from a plane at 15,000 feet over Jurby Airfield. He works for Lancashire-based Black Knights Parachute Centre; the company taking visitors and locals on tandem skydives this TT fortnight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2bees Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yes, my friend is raising money for hospice by doing a jump, she is terrified of heights. If anyone wants to sponsor her, go on, drop some cash to hospice for Jo's jump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman of the Bored Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 No doubt this new First will be touted as one of the many(?) benefits of the TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman1980 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 No doubt this new First will be touted as one of the many(?) benefits of the TT. You are seriously obsessed with the TT aren't you? I would suggest some sort of therapy but maybe you should just relax and enjoy the Island and the variety that we have here. That includes sleepy villages being woken by the roar of motorcycle engines as much as it does being able to walk in our Glens or on our beaches. Alternatively you could always jump out of a plane for an aerial view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I don't like flying at the best of times and would NEVER do a parachute jump, but that was impressive and the island looked beautiful. Great video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
