A thrill-seeking couple took a bone-chilling plunge for a gorge-ous view of the Grand Canyon.

Aussies Glenn Singleman and his wife, Heather Swan, were joined by fellow wingsuit fliers Paul Tozer, Roger Hugelshofer and Vicente Cajiga for the death-defying feat in April, Barcroft Media reported.

The group jumped from a plane at 28,000 feet, braving temps of about minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit as they flew about 7 miles above the canyon at speeds reaching 110 mph.

“It was a physical, technical and emotional challenge,” Singleman said. “The team had to train for over a year to be sure they would make the distance across the canyon while flying in formation. Because of the speed we were traveling at, any mistake or twitch could have led to a dramatic separation or potential collision.”

The daredevils wore modified military masks to breathe supplemental oxygen from tanks in their wings.

“The technical challenges made the jump very stressful. We had to fly the suits at maximum performance for four minutes and due to the remoteness of the location, missing the landing area was not an option,” he said.
