“If you have a dream, if you have an idea… even if it is crazy — try it.” – Yves “Jetman” Rossy
Close your eyes. Imagine the wildest dreams you have had of flying, mainly that ethereal sensation you experienced during it as well as that lingering euphoria you felt right after waking up. Now open your eyes and watch this.
No, you’re not dreaming. Go ahead and pinch yourself.
A lot of life is about control. These sorts of pursuits — the dreams, the crazy — are also about control, but a control that additionally involves letting go in the sense of transforming all that raw energy into real power. Yves “Jetman” Rossy is a pro in that regard, a pro strapped to a jet-engine powered carbon fiber wing. Along with protégé Vince Reffe, he took to the skies above Dubai for a historic twin human formation flight over iconic landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa, the Palm Jumeirah, and the Liwa desert.
What dreams may come? These dreams have come.
