13. Felix Baumgartner Makes Skydiving History
The world was watching in anticipation as Felix Baumgartner stepped out of his space capsule at 128,100 feet — the highest altitude from which anyone had ever jumped before. Weather had delayed the record-breaking mission, but on October 14 the stratospheric balloon successfully elevated Baumgartner and his capsule to the final altitude. In addition to breaking the record for the highest skydiving mission in history, the Austrian daredevil surpassed the speed of sound during his harrowing descent. Despite losing control momentarily, tumbling through space like a ragdoll, Baumgartner returned to earth safely and made a picture perfect landing on his own two feet.

We have been flying one of these for quite a while here (Aéroclub Vauclusien - Avignon, France)
It's great - quieter, less hungry, and just as much fun to fly.
When will Jeppesen and Foreflight programs, maps, etc. be ready for the Android tablets, like Google Nexus 7 or 10??????
