Jay Cochrane, The Prince of the Air - South Brooklyn Internet Inc.

Jay Cochrane, the world's premiere high wire walker, completes his first skywalk of the summer in Niagara Falls, Canada, on Thursday, July 6, 2007 as he passes by the Skylon Tower. Cochrane will skywalk twice daily on the 1,000 foot long wire between his two specially made 200 foot tall towers (20 stories). In the ten-week schedule, Cochrane will walk over 20 miles on the wire. Called "Up Close and Personal with Jay Cochrane," the skywalks are an effort to secure permission for Cochrane to skywalk over Niagara Falls.

Jay Cochrane, The Prince of the Air

On highwires and skywires around the world, he lived the life of his dreams, inspiring and entertaining millions of people. Jay Cochrane also discovered something else along the way: the need within himself to help others. His adult life was founded upon those two great desires: to perform some of the greatest, most spectacular, high-wire feats the world has ever seen and to bring joy and hope into the lives of children in need. Nicknamed "The Prince of the Air," his art showed others what was possible.
