Up, Up, and Away

Somedays I'm more proud of my Swiss ancestory than others -- and today is such a day. Yves Rossy flies like a bird, or at least as close to a bird as you can with composite wings and kerosene powered engines. It's not man powered, but it is wearable. He straps on the 10 foot wings, jumps out of a plane, and flies using his body as the control system. Yikes! Of course he has a web site: Jet-Man.com.

So I salute you, Yves Rossy, truly a Real Man of Genius.
