Among his craziest projects have been Door in the Sky, when he jumped off a mountain peak and flew into an airplane; Sky Skiing, when he performed a 45-second ski routine in the sky before landing and skiing down a mountain; Flying past the Pyramids of Giza, when he conducted a wingsuit flight super-close to the pyramids; Base jumping off Burj Khalifa, when he performed the highest-ever base jump and parachute off a building; and many others.Recently Frederic came up with the idea of a project around one of the country's most iconic monuments - the Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage site and often hailed as one of the 7 Wonders of the World. And he achieved this feat on Tuesday.Joining Frederic on this project were frequent collaborators Vincent Cotte and Aurelien Chatard, who have been part of some of his best-known aerial projects in recent years.The thrilling moments were captured by renowned sports videographer Dino Raffault, who has captured many of Frederic's projects and has also been part of Hollywood productions where aerial filming has been involved.Being seasoned wingsuit pilots, Frederic, Vincent and Aurelien had all the experience and expertise needed to pull off this project.
