Description
It’s an incredible challenge with a heartfelt purpose.
The Alpha 5 Project and the team behind it are working to set the world record for the highest HALO formation skydive. HALO stands for high altitude, low opening.
Four veteran and active-duty U.S. Air Force Pararescue Specialists (PJs) along with astronaut Larry Connor, who is funding this mission, will jump from a hot air balloon at roughly 35,000 feet — the average cruising altitude for commercial airlines.
In mid-July, the team met up on the Space Coast to practice over several days for the mission on the horizon.
