Another "jet" in the news today in Arizona. *Yves Rossy, the Swiss guy
who has small wings with jets attached to his back, who drops out of a
helicopter, starts the engines and flies around using his body and
arms for control, and then lands under parachute, had planned a
"flight" over the Grand Canyon yesterday,but the FAA changed the
"classification" of his contraption at the last minute to "glider".
He wasn't sure if he could then meet the FAA specs, and cancelled his
much publicised and ballyhooed flight. *Interesting. *With jet engines
off, I'd suspect he would be flying more of a lawn dart rather than a
"glider."


Well, the "JetMan" got his wish. See:
