Jet-Man is Yves Rossy (from Switzerland) he is the first man ever to be able to fly following Icare's dream, with true wings and a jet-pack.

This is what dreams are made of! Come on, who hasn't wanted a jet-pack.

There's something very scary about this and just a little bit unsafe. But then I'm boring and look at pictures of stuff like this while I stumble, so my opinion may not be the best to listen to...

LOOK! UP IN THE SKY...IT'S A BIRD..NO IT'S PLANE..NO, IT'S--IT'S THE INCREDIBLE FLYING MAN. YEA. Yves Rossy (born August 27, 1959) is a Swiss pilot, inventor and aviation enthusiast. He invented and is the first person to have flown a jet engine-powered wing strapped to his back. The flight occurred in November 2006 in Bex, lasting nearly six minutes. While work with jet packs to propel humans dates back as far as World War II, his is the first contraption to also have wings. Yves has served as a fighter pilot in the Swiss Air Force flying Dassault Mirage IIIs, Northrop F-5 Tiger IIs and Hawker Hunters. He flew Boeing 747s for Swissair and now works as an Airbus pilot for Swiss International Air Lines.
