July 26, 2007: Personal jet noticed
xoB finds this set from location unknown, with his only tag "I know some people are afraid to fly commercial, but this is ridiculous." Yes. So the most of the set is hereby presented, and we assume it is not a fake because it's far more interesting to assume it's real. I particularly like the ear-to-ear grin on the gent in the last shot. |

Looks like he's launched form the air, instead of taking off from the ground.
Very cool! |

His name is Yves Rossy, and this is his web page.

Seems like I saw that on the Discovery Channel or something like that. Not a lot of protection should he "crash".

Ok, just curious, but in the 2nd picture where they have their "thumbs up" - doesn't it look like the guy in the middle is comparing his thumb to the "pilots"? Like he's saying -
"It's suppose to be straight up, not to the side" or "not pointing at me". |

seems to me, our pilot here - Yves Rossy - has spent much of his life in pursuit of adrenaline rushes if you explore around his site mentioned above. skysurfing off a hot air balloon ... skysurfing then ditching shute to snowboard down the mountain ... fighter pilot ... cool!
