I jumped out of a plan once. I prefer terra firma. I think my nut size must have shrunk over the years or I 'm trying to be more risk averse the older I get.

Check your local listings. At least on DirecTV, this coming Sunday (2/12), at 5:00 p.m. Pacific time, National Geographic Channel (channel 276), in High Def, there is airing a show entitled The Man Who Can Fly. The show's description is as follows: "Dean Potter, who set the record for the longest flight in a wing suit, trains to break his own record."

I've already set my DVR.

I can't find a similar listing at 5:00 on my Comcast cable

Police scour video footage of wingsuit jump that killed Olympics James Bond stuntman

By Sam Marsden, Alexandra Williams and Olivia Goldhill

Mark Sutton, 42, died when he crashed into a mountain ridge near Mont Blanc in the Alps at a speed of up to 150mph after jumping from a helicopter at 10,800ft (3,300m) on a wing-dive.
The former Army officer, who had worked in the City for more than 17 years, had been taking part in the first day of an event organised by French extreme sports online channel Epic TV.
He famously doubled for James Bond actor Daniel Craig for a section of the London Games curtain-raiser in which he and fellow stuntman Gary Connery, who was dressed as the Queen, jumped from a helicopter into the Olympic stadium using Union flag parachutes.......
