A Man Flew over the English Channel with just a single wing


Yes it is true! A real life Rocket Man who calls himself the Fusion Man makes record as the first person to fly over the English Channel with just a wing powered by four engine jets, all strapped on his back! He crossed the channel in 13 minutes last September 27, 1008.

Yves Rossy, his real name is a Swiss commercial airline pilot. Asked if he was afraid of the flight, he said, “I was under tension, but fear? The day I have fear, I don’t go.” Madman? Maybe, but incredible nonetheless!

There is just nothing impossible nowadays huh?! The first thing we must learn is to conquer our fears, just as he did; then we can do the impossible.
