What was once deemed crazy, impossible, and impossibly crazy was made reality this past weekend—a human bird/plane flew across the Grand Canyon. On Saturday, Swiss adventurer Yves Rossy, a.k.a. “JetMan”, completed his long-awaited dream flight with his custom-made jet-propelled wing pack over the Grand Canyon, flying up to speeds of 190 miles-per-hour before deploying...
