EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo, taken by Leon Neal on April 3,2014, we are transported into the exhilarating world of skydiving. The image captures a group of competitors engrossed in a training session before the highly anticipated Bodyflight World Challenge - the largest indoor skydiving competition in the world. The setting for this thrilling event is none other than Bodyflight in Bedford, where an impressive 36-meter-tall tunnel stands tall. Originally constructed as a test facility for the Royal Aircraft Establishment back in the 1950s, it now serves as a playground for these daredevils to showcase their skills and push their limits. With participants hailing from all corners of the globe, representing 105 teams ready to take on the challenge, anticipation fills the air. The two-day formation skydiving event scheduled for April 4-5 promises intense action and fierce competition. Leon Neal's photograph perfectly encapsulates both the intensity and camaraderie that exists within this unique sport. It offers us a glimpse into a realm where gravity is defied and adrenaline reigns supreme. As we admire this horizontal snapshot capturing offbeat aerial sports at its finest, let us appreciate not only these athletes' dedication but also marvel at how human ingenuity has transformed an old aircraft testing ground into an arena where dreams take flight.
