Most of you aviation buffs out there know that today is the day Chuck Yeager broke the
sound barrier (going 807 mph) in 1947. But here is a bit of trivia you may not know..........
On this day in 2012, Felix Baumgartner broke the sound barrier at over 833 mph,
the main difference is that felix was in a parachute free fall from an altitude of 22.6 MILES.
He still holds the record for fastest free fall.
As far as skydiving, I still see no good reason to jump out or a perfectly good airplane......
