Yves Rossy is a former Swiss military pilot who shot to fame as "Fusionman", the first man ever to successfully fly with wings. Rossy built a light weight jet-powered wing that he straps on his back, jumps out of a plane and then flies around the Swiss Alps.

Check out this video of one of his previous flights.

The Swiss Jet Man has created a new jet-powered wing, which can reach speeds of up to 300kmh and gives him ten minutes of flying time. Here is a photo gallery of his latest outing.

As you know I have been admiring the gloriously paved streets of Portugal.

Luckily for Lagos and who ever re-paves the streets the blob wasn't a likeness of Jesus, otherwise it would be on eBay by now.
