After starting wingsuit flying just seven years ago, American Ellen Brennan, 26, has quickly established a name for herself in the flying world. Gliding above the ground at over 3,500 metres, she effortlessly sails through the sky, giving the birds a run for their money. 'I started skydiving with my dad when I was 18, and then when I got bored of that I started BASE jumping from hot air balloons, bridges and small cliffs,' said Ellen
