Yes, John Fleming did — over 1200 times — now you can help us tell his story on the big screen.
John Fleming, known as “Blind John” among skydivers, jumped out of a perfectly good airplane over 1900 times. More than 1200 of those jumps were made after he lost his sight — he was the first known skydiver to develop a method of jumping solo while blind.
Sadly, John died of cancer in 2016. Now, we are on a mission to tell his story in a full-length documentary.
Flying Blind Productions is a very small, independent production company. Financial support from folks who want to see this movie made is critical to our project’s success.
