BEX, Switzerland - Some people go fishing on their day off. Yves Rossy likes to jump out of a small plane with a pair of jet-powered wings and perform figure eights above the Swiss Alps.
Rossy, 48, made his first public flight with his self-made flying contraption in front of the world press Wednesday, after five years of training and many more years of dreaming.

My first thought was that there's a man with a death wish. What a way to go, though! I'll bet his insurance won't cover it if he buys the farm!

Powered flight is nothing new though. The next challenge is to jump from a plane with only a wingsuit, and land without the use of a parachute.
