Oh my goodness! This is the absolute coolest thing EVAH!

Years ago, aviation enthusiast and inventor Yves Rossy dreamed of soaring through the sky like a bird.

In 2006 that dream took flight.

Known as Switzerland’s “Fusion Man,” Rossy in November 2006 became the first man in the world to fly with wings and four jet engines strapped to his body.

The flight lasted six minutes in Bex, Switzerland, and included an emergency parachute programmed to automatically open if he were to black out, NBC11 reported at the time.

“The idea is to have fun, not to kill yourself,” Rossy said in the story.

Wearing a white helmet with the words “Jet-Man” on the front, Rossy dives out of a plane, fires up his red wings and propels through the atmosphere, leaving a trail of white smoke in his wake.

These days the former Swiss air force fighter pilot can be seen making figure eights over the Swiss Alps during his days off from work as an Airbus pilot for Swiss International Air Lines.

Seriously people, how amazingly awesome is that? I want one! I want one! I want one!
