Yves Rossy has made history. the former swiss military pilot was the first man to ever fly with wings - a homemade four engine winged jet pack - strapped on his back! after ascending in a plane to 7,500 feet, yves rossy unfolded the 8 foot rigid wings, jumped from the plane, then after a slight free-fall, triggered the four jet turbines and accelerated to 186 miles per hour! rossy steered the winged jetpack with his body, performing loops, rolls, and dives! the flight took place on May 14, 2008 in the southern swiss alps near Bex. photo slideshow of the the winged jetpack on yahoo. & thanks jamie for the video link!
