Very nice!
Maybe I'm missing it but I don't see Rossy wearing a Breitling in any of the flight videos or in any of his photos. It seems a Navitimer would be necessary equipment for a flight like this.

...not sure if you guys have seen this yet. Its certainly worth a look if you haven't! Formation flight is complicated enough with like aircraft. I can't imaging trying to form up on a guy wearing a jet suit! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH-LEYKzXDg&sns=em |

Yep, seen it, and judging by the scenery, it should be at Bex airport, just miles before Lake Leman. The guy is accustomed to flying in formation with other "craft": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M32DtFnnVpU But the girls' performance is not to be neglected either: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-YU9mRHB8M And what to say about his lady: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=76Krvup1Kgw&NR=1 with some awesome Swiss scenery as a bonus. |

And I can assure you, despite all his feats, the guy remains oh so humble, as you can see in this video. But then, that's what a real hero is about, no? Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk |

I see what you mean but one can be a hero in his own way without necessarily having fought in a war, even though the risk undertaken is certainly not of the same nature. Likewise, for me, a pilot of a demo team is also a hero in his own way. Sent from my Galaxy SII using Tapatalk |

BJT Team Leader Jacques Bothelin comments: "Just imagine you are flying straight and level you look right and just outside your cockpit, you can see into the eyes of a man flying next to you, smiling while keeping pace with a jet! It is a truly amazing experience and very emotional. We all have so much admiration and respect for Yves "JETMAN" Rossy and his project" http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?s ... =1&theater |
