Metallica Singer Visits iFly

The rock legend took flight in their indoor wind tunnel earlier this month.

Celebrity spottings don’t come often in Union City. But earlier this month, you might have caught James Hetfield, the frontman of legendary rock band Metallica, at Union Landing when he took flight at iFly.

In a photo uploaded to the indoor skydiving center’s Facebook page on March 13, the company wrote: “No big deal, just James Hetfield the lead singer of Metallica flying at our tunnel.” 

The Union City iFly is one of two California locations, and the only one in northern California. Union City’s most popular attractions, one reviewer on Patch called it “a breathtaking experience.”
