Yves Rossy has flown his custom-built jet pack in formation with two aircraft over the Swiss Alps.
The 52-year-old is the only person to have ever flown using a jet-propelled wing, with feats under his belt including a flight across the English Channel. For his latest stunt, Rossy launched himself from a helicopter to soar over the Swiss Alps alongside two jet aircraft at speeds up to 125mph.
A self-styled "jet man" has performed another death-defying stunt - flying alongside two Albatross aircraft above the Swiss Alps. Adventurer Yves Rossy flew in a custom-built jet suit over the mountain range in formation with the aircraft.
