Red Bull Athlete Flies Wingsuit Slalom Through Cappadocia's Balloons for Philips
Amsterdam – September 17, 2026 -- Royal Philips has partnered with Red Bull and athlete Marco Waltenspiel to complete what the companies call a world's first: a wingsuit slalom flown between seven hot-air balloons above Cappadocia, Turkey.
Waltenspiel jumped from 2,800 meters and hit speeds up to 200 km/h
Known for his distinctive moustache, Waltenspiel navigated the balloon-filled skyline at varying heights, adjusting his path in split-second decisions as wind conditions shifted. Fellow Red Bull athlete Marco Fürst flew alongside him to film the flight from the air.
