First leap
This is the first jump in the world, most NOTABLE: Yves Rossy, 48, the “fusion man,” on May 14, 2008, in a 5-minute flight, leaped (from his Swiss-built Pilatus Porter jet propelled hang-glider aircraft at 7,500 feet and unfolded the 8-foot wings strapped to his back), on an airfield near Lake Geneva. It was the first public demonstration before world press, of making effortless loops from one side of the Rhone valley to the other, rising 2,600 at times. Rossy, his sponsors, and the Swiss watch company Hublot, spent $285,000 to build the device.ap.google.com, Swiss man soars above Alps with jet-powered wingnews.bbc.co.uk, Rocketman flies in the skiesnypost.com, Switzerland’s New Air Force --Florentino floro (talk) 09:48, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
