Khalifa Salem Al Ghafri (33) is the quintessential Emirati ‘Batman’. His remarkable feat evokes awe and admiration and he is gearing up to organise the world’s first wingsuit flying festival.
Many travel enthusiasts may wish to trek Ras Al Khaimah s Jebel Jais – the highest mountain in the UAE – but Al Ghafri has defied gravity and flown off its peak over a record 1,900 times.
Al Ghafri, who is widely known as the man with orange wings, is in love with his wingsuit and flies off the UAE s highest peak with unflinching regularity.
