    Roger That Jon! PC-6 (for a basic rabbit hole dive) is a pretty amazing STOL aircraft and those guys have angels on their wing tips for pulling off that stunt over mountains like that with winds gusts/shears and eddies and temp changes. Pilot SKILLs and then some! Wingsuiter's are pretty bodacious as well.

    Seeing what these birds can do at the hands of a good pilot...watch the movie "Air America" when they land on on a ~60° mountainside...and take off from it.

    Don't think that was those two flyin' that bird! Tom Danaher from Wichita Falls, Texas...read the first posting below by Cherokee592...don't know for sure but sounds credible!
