The World's Youngest Professional Free Flyers


We came across this young duo who might be breaking a Guinness World's Record pretty soon. These amazing kids are the world's youngest indoor skydivers- 12 year old Kayla Tinucci and her 9 year old brother, Justin. They are too young to jump out of airplanes (you need to be 18) but they sure can simulate complicated skydiving routines in 170 mph wind tunnels!  Last January, they took 6th place against 55 adults in the World Championship in England.

The Tinucci siblings are now looking forward to breaking a Guinness World Record - for the longest free fall in wind tunnels (of 1 hour, 18 minutes and 22 seconds). You can see their live demonstration on May 21, 8 am, at iFLY Hollywood, Universal Studios Hollywood. They will then appear at the Amazing Kids! Launch My Dream Fly-a-thon  on June 22. The Launch My Dream initiative will help identify & support kids who have high potential and a vision they want to accomplish. BKFK is supporting the event as well!

Are you ready to see their live demonstration at Universal Studios? I am!
