Rocket man flies on jet powered wings

Of course he's just doing it to impress the girls, but he gets big props for building the flying machine himself, and having the guts to try it out personally.

Soaring and gliding at up to 185mph, Rossy may have the ultimate view up in the sky ... but he can't enjoy it - "I am so concentrated, I don't really enjoy the view".

He plans to cross the English Channel in his wings when they are further developed.
