Jetman- possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen

[jstinch1]

Came across this today and I thought it was wild. Yves Rossy, a Swiss man, who's lifetime passion is flying, once flew for the Swiss army at the controls of the Mirage III, then went on to fly as captain on Airbuses, and now has not only created and developed wings which allow him to fly, but also built and personally tested them over the past 7 years. The video is awesome to watch...what a smart man.

I cant wait to try!
