And you thought drones or bird strike were a problem! Wingsuit daredevil flies over and under a plane at 15,000ft

• Daniel Ossio flew along with a small plane over the Algarve, in Portugal 
• He floats under the aircraft until he is within touching distance of plane’s wheels
• The footage was shot by fellow daredevil, Espen Fades, 39, from Norway 

It takes a brave soul to soar through the air at 15,000ft in a wingsuit – while flying over and under a plane.

But for the daredevils seen in this footage, it was just another day at the office.

Full-time wingsuiter Espen Fades, 39, from Norway, travelled to the Algarve in Portugal last month to film fellow daredevil flyer Daniel Ossio as he performed the stunt.

Hovering above the plane, Ossio swiftly moves alongside the tip of the wing, lining up perfectly with the nose-diving aircraft.

At one point, Ossio is seen hovering above the aircraft. Espen, who started wingsuiting in 2001, said: ‘The plane seems much bigger and scarier when in freefall next to it, but it actually flew very stable – like a rock’

The daredevil lines up perfectly with the nose-diving aircraft. The jump required precise timing and co-ordination between all the flyers and the pilot of the plane as the smallest mistake would have resulted in disaster

Within seconds, the aerial adrenaline junkie floats under the plane until he is within touching distance of the plane’s wheels.

Espen said: ‘Daniel wanted to carefully fly close to an airplane. He asked me if I wanted to join in and of course I couldn’t turn down the offer. It was the experience of a lifetime.’

Espen, who started wingsuiting in 2001, said: ‘The plane seems much bigger and scarier when in freefall next to it, but it actually flew very stable – like a rock.

‘I got the chills as we entered the airspace under the wing. Any mistake there would have been serious. Let’s just say I was extremely focused.

‘I remember thinking, ‘Wow, we can do this. This is insane’.

‘To fly with an airplane like this is do-able, but only for those who are highly experienced in flying in tight formations.

‘We kept on “hanging out” with the plane until 5,000 feet, then separated, opened our parachutes and landed on a designated area. It was good fun.’
