Watch: Athletes perform wingsuit fly-by of Taj Mahal

Tourists and visitors to the Taj Mahal were in for a special experience as three aerial athletes performed a wingsuit flyover of the iconic monument. The Taj Mahal fly-by project was performed by Frederic Fugen, Vincent Cotte and Aurelien Chatard on 11 October. The athletes made the jump out of the aeroplane about 1,500 metres above sea level and flew by the Taj Mahal at a proximity of 510 metres, achieving a speed of 150kmph in the process. It was the first time that a proximity fly-by of the Taj Mahal was performed without the use of an aerial vehicle.
