Felix Baumgartner’s Last Flight Video Released by Partner

The devastated partner of Felix Baumgartner, the renowned Austrian BASE jumper and skydiver who tragically passed away while paragliding in Italy earlier this week, has courageously shared haunting footage of his last ascent into the sky. This poignant video captures the final moments leading up to his fateful flight, allowing viewers to reflect on the remarkable life of a man who pushed the boundaries of extreme sports.

Mihaela Schwartzenberg, Felix’s longtime partner, shared the emotional clip late Friday night, showcasing Felix rising gracefully into the air. In her heartfelt tribute accompanying the video, she expressed her shock and sorrow, revealing that she had no idea he was embarking on the last flight of his extraordinary life filled with adventure and passion for the skies.

She reminisced about being present for nearly all of Felix’s thrilling takeoffs and landings throughout their life together—from exhilarating skydiving and paragliding experiences to helicopter flights and beyond. In instances when she couldn’t be there, they established a special communication method called the “WLC code,” which stood for “the Wifey Landing Call.” She emphasized, “Never missed one. Except …this one,” highlighting the devastating absence she now feels in her heart.

Miha expressed her deep gratitude to all those who have reached out with messages of comfort and support during this incredibly challenging time. She found solace in the thought that Felix “is going home now, up there, where he was the happiest ever,” a sentiment that reflects both her love for him and the profound connection they shared.

Nonetheless, the abrupt loss of Felix is tearing her apart, and she candidly shared that she must now confront the overwhelming shock and emotional pain that accompanies such a tragic departure. The strength it takes to process this grief is unimaginable, yet she continues to honor his memory.

As previously reported, the celebrated extreme sports athlete, affectionately known as “Fearless Felix,” died this week after reportedly experiencing a medical emergency that caused him to lose control of his aircraft during flight, a tragic event that has shocked fans and the sports community alike.

Tragically, he crashed near a hotel swimming pool in the town of Porto Sant’Elpidio, having reportedly lost consciousness by the time of impact, leaving his partner and loved ones in profound grief over his sudden passing.

Felix was famously known for his groundbreaking high-altitude jump from the stratosphere back down to Earth in 2012, an incredible feat during which he notably broke the sound barrier, marking a historic moment in extreme sports.
