Swiss pilot Yves "Fusion Man" Rossy, the first man in the world to fly under a jet-fitted wing, jumps from a plane through the air in Bex, Switzerland, Wednesday, May 14, 2008. Some people go fishing on their day off. Yves Rossy likes to jump out of a small plane with a pair of jet-powered wings and perform figure eights above the Swiss Alps. The revolutionary human flying machine comes after five years of training and many more years of dreaming.

In this photo released on Thursday, May 15, 2008 by Japanese helicopter manufacturing company Gen Corporation, the company employee Yasutoshi Yokoyama flies in the air by GEN H-4, a compact single-seater helicopter developed by Gen Corporation, during its test flight in Matsumoto in central Japan's Nagano Prefecture Jan. 14, 2005. Gennai Yanagisawa, 75, who has developed claimed to be the world's smallest one-man helicopter will take the aircraft on a flight on May 25 in the birthplace of Leonardo da Vinci near Florence, Italy, in tribute to his original idea (Gen Corporation)

Re: Jet Man! Yves Rossy

This is just way too cool. I'd be scared to try it, but it looks like a hell of a lot of fun.

Re: Jet Man! Yves Rossy

What the fuck is this doing here in this forum? I was hoping to see Yves crash into a mountain.

Re: Jet Man! Yves Rossy

Yeah, I wanted someone to leave on jet-wing and know they weren't coming back again.
