- The pair had the opportunity to capture a rare celestial event from a unique vantage point
This is the breathtaking moment father and daughter paratroopers witnessed the total solar eclipse in mid-air on Monday after jumping 13,000 feet from a plane over Texas.
Footage shows the pair traveling in a plane from the Dallas Skydiving Center as they prepare to make the jump back to Earth.
If the skydive itself was exciting enough for the duo, they would have been even more enthralled by the opportunity to view the total solar eclipse – which passed over North America on Monday – as they descended.
The lucky parachutists are seen free-falling from 4,000 meters before the camera sees them floating with a parachute as the rare celestial event of the solar eclipse darkens the sky.
Once they set their course back to solid ground, the father exclaims, “Look at that,” as the sky around them begins to change color in a breathtaking way.
