Jetman

51 year old Eves Rossy or “Jet Man” has worked for years to make sure he can do this without crashing. He wants to fly along side of fighter jets basically just him, some wings and a few engines on his back.

He launches himself from the side of a helicopter once he gets to his determined altitude. Then flies incredibly close to Swiss Fighter Jets. He was once a pilot of the jets himself.

The jet pack it’s self weighs 120 lbs and has a wing span of 79 inches.

He lands with the use of a parachute and the jet pack still attached to his body.

Note: This spot of News Briefs is usually reserved for 'humor' but this story is so incredible that today there will be an exception. Just when the entire world was convinced that the Swiss were the most boring people in the world (even worse than the Brits) a story like this pops up which calls for a reevaluation.
