The Plane Swap That Nearly Ended in Disaster In 2022, one of the boldest and riskiest aerial stunts ever attempted captured the world’s attention: two Red Bull pilots attempted to switch airplanes in midair. In the challenge, called “Plane Swap,” the pilots jumped from their respective aircraft while the planes were in a controlled free fall, attempting to reach and take control of the other aircraft. One pilot successfully completed the swap. However, the second aircraft lost control and entered a spiral. Fortunately, the emergency parachute system was activated and managed to stabilize the situation. No one was injured. Because the attempt had not received final authorization from the FAA, the United States aviation authority, the pilots had their flight licenses revoked following the incident. ⚠️ DM for credit or removal request (no copyright infringement intended). ©️ All rights and credits reserved to their respective owners.
