quote: BEX, Switzerland - A Swiss pilot strapped on a jet-powered wing and leaped from a plane Wednesday for the first public demonstration of the homemade device, turning figure eights and soaring high above the Alps. Yves Rossy's performance in front of the world press capped five years of training and many more years of dreaming. "This flight was absolutely excellent," the former fighter pilot and extreme sports enthusiast said after touching down on an airfield near the eastern shore of Lake Geneva. http://www.newsday.com/news/custom/offbeat/ny-rocket0515,0,6273179.story http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2TSJXLMATY

This is Darcy Saw this on the news this morning and can't help but admire the balls of the guy to strap himself to that contraption! Part of me wants a go on it, but the larger part of me hasn't got the nerve. [;)]

I sooooooo want one of those! I saw it on the front page and I just am envious. Yep.. Envious is the best word.. I want to do it. Soooo badly. My daddy was a paratrooper... ( 101st Airborne Oh Rah!) and my mum raced cars before she had us kiddies. I have the double nutball genes. I have done some street style racing.. but the jumping I have not done yet. I want to though. Gods it looks like fun! Gwyn

I would fly one of those in a heartbeat. I figure either I'd have a kickass ride, or crash and die. Either way, it'd be a win for me.

sirsholly -> RE: Fly like an eagle (5/16/2008 11:06:19 AM)
with me the issue would not be putting on a set of flappers and hopping my ass out of a plane. The fact is..i would not get on the plane to begin with.
