I was disappointed in the parachute; I was watching to see him land that thing.
I'll admit it took some stones for the first flight of that, or maybe just liberal application of the local preferred adult beverage.
Do it wrong - the ultimate faceplant.
Cool.

This guy is a nut! Couldn't watch this video, but went to his site. Apparently, he is a former Swiss air force Mirage III pilot. Currently flying DC-9s, B-747s, and Airbuses for Swissair.
Not only does he do this jet wing thing, he also "sky surfs" stanging on top of a similar wing and a Mirage model.

To me, it looks like sky diving with a wonderful twist.

Man, what a way to live. May he have many wonderful flights.
Anyone ever seen the guy in the flying squirrel suit that went over a mountain in the Warren Miller film? It was nuts. He was going every bit as fast as the jet-powered guy but with no engine and no control. This guy with the wings has some guts. Extending the wings AFTER jumping out of the plane was certainly impressive. Imagine the adrenaline rush. I wonder if he's done it again since?

I imagine we'll see him in the next Jmes Bond film when they catch wind of it.
