Joe Kittinger was featured in an issue of Focus magazine 2 years ago. Some of the stuff that man did was amazing. Some of the interview was with him. Worth a read if you want to know more.

Nice interview with Kittinger himself (and some superb footage):

His last words before he jumped? 'Lord, take care of me now".

Masterfully understated request.

Thanks for the clip Brian. He never mentioned what his hand felt like after! Anyone care to guess?
