For Turner's G-Force, none of Battle of the Planets' original elements (such as 7-Zark-7, 1-Rover-1, the concept of space travel and space battles and all of the added American footage) were retained, preferably replaced with a more accurate translation of the original Gatchaman series with far fewer alterations. Most of the plot, backstories, violence and deaths remained intact, only edited or "softened" with added dialogue where it was too explicit (i.e., certain on-screen gun usage, deaths via firearms and/or overly violent means and inter-team violence).[citation needed]
On the creative side, the original Gatchaman character names and terms were once-again re-tooled and Americanized in G-Force for the convenience of the English-speaking market, as they first were with Battle of the Planets years earlier. Despite the existence of BotP's set of English names and terms, G-Force's producers came up with their own set in an attempt to stray away from the previous adaptation as much as possible and avoid any potential confusion between the two. From Battle of the Planets to G-Force, the heroes' names were changed to Ace Goodheart (Mark), Dirk Daring (Jason), Agatha June (Princess), Pee Wee (Keyop), Hoot Owl (Tiny), and Dr. Brighthead (Chief Anderson), while the main villains were renamed Galactor (Zoltar) and Computor (The Great Spirit) respectively. The only terms retained from BotP were the name of the group as a collective ("G-Force", in order to explain the "G" on their costumes and vehicles) and the team's ship ("Phoenix").
The show performed modestly, but it most notably faced backlash from returning fans of the previous adaptation, Battle of the Planets. The recycling of the same team name and episode content confused older fans who were unaware that a newer English translation of Gatchaman had been produced after Battle of the Planets mid-1980s hiatus.
Skiers, snowboarders, wingsuit pilots, surfers and kiters all have one thing in common: the desire to reach the goals they set for themselves, sometimes at the price of waiting months for various weather conditions to converge, and all this in a time when nature is becoming more and more chaotic.
French wingsuit flyers recently completed an unbelievable stunt following a B.A.S.E. jump from the top of the Jungfrau mountain in Switzerland. Fred Fugen and Vince Reffet, known as the Soul Flyers, caught up with and flew into a plane in mid-air.

In addition to highlining, which he was practicing in Yosemite throughout the 1990s, Potter began skydiving and BASE jumping in 2003, and rapidly progressed as a leader in the sport. In 2011, he set the world record for the longest BASE wingsuit flight (4.7 miles), jumping from the Eiger (13,025 feet).
Potter was also famous for embarking on many climbs, wingsuit flights, BASE jumps, and other adventures with his dog, Whisper, a decision criticized by some for the danger it exposed the dog to. (Check out a 2014 Climbing Q&A with Potter about BASE jumping with Whisper here.)
Potter died on the evening of May 16, 2015, at the age of 43, after a failed wingsuit proximity flight from Taft Point in Yosemite. Both he and his partner, Graham Hunt, were killed after they impacted a rocky ridgeline, which they were trying to clear via a small notch. Neither man had opened his parachute.
2017- Vince Reffet and Fred Fugen fly an impressive series of wingsuit formation flights with a Pilatus Porter in Empuria Brava, Spain. Docking with the plane in various configurations, as well as doing an airplane re-entry and an impressive head on pass.
2018- Jarno Cordia sets the first ever Guinness record for longest Indoor Wingsuit Flight. Flying in the special wingsuit windtunnel in Stockholm, Sweden, he flies for a record time of 6 hours, 30 minutes, and 18 seconds without touching down.
2018- Wingsuit Team FlyLikeBrick takes 1st place, and prolongs their title as Acrobatic Indoor Wingsuit World Champions. At the USPA Nationals, the same team also showcased the translation of the indoor training to the skies, taking 1st place as a guest team with a big margin.
