Vince Reffet, better known as the “bird man”, I was training yesterday on the Dubai desert to surprise the world with another pirouette flying. No one expected that a fatal accident would put an end to this Frenchman’s dream of 36 years who had been surprising the world for years with his pirouettes.
Reffet had performed great feats in flights with wingsuit and jetman
While the causes of the accident are being investigated, the world today says goodbye to this unique athlete who is the protagonist of feats impossible. In 2017 he managed to get on a plane in mid-flight and a year earlier in 2016 he took off from the tallest tower in the world, the Burj Khalifa (828 meters), in Dubai, and flew with an Airbus A380 or next to the Patrol of France.
