Jet-Powered Man of the Day: Yves “Jetman” Rossy, the first person to fly with a jet-propelled wing, recently completed a flight high over the Swiss Alps while in formation with two jet planes.
Rossy, outfitted with a sturdy wing and four jet engines, jumped off a helicopter to begin his flight. He flew alongside the two L-39C Albatros jets using only his body movements to execute the midair maneuvers. The jets and their pilots are part of the Breitling Jet Team, a civilian aerobatics team.
Prior to this flight, Rossy flew with two Boeing Stearman biplanes carrying the Breitling Wingwalkers.
Watch both flights after the jump.
