Very cool, but what a madman! :thumbsup: I saw the footage when he crossed the English Channel the other year. I bet it's one hell of a rush. He must feel like Ironman!

Yves just flew through the Grand Canyon. :bow:

It was an 8-min flight at 220 km/h.

He had to postpone his first attempt, last Friday, because he didn't have enough time to practice after having gotten the OK for the flight.

EDIT: Thomas beat me to it with his post Breitling got some nice placement for their money in Breitling Discussion.
