Your support makes all the difference.Paul Bonhomme and Steve Jones became the first pilots ever to simultaneously fly planes through a building.
The pair descended to just one metre above the ground in order to fly through a hangar measuring just 7.6 metres high, at an incredible speed of over 185 mph.
As they exited the hangar, the pilots astonishingly looked at each other to ensure their partner’s safety. The pair have been flying together for seventeen years.
