Swiss airline pilot Yves Rossy parachutes in to land, in front of a welcome
banner from a British newspaper, after becoming the first person to cross the
English channel with a jetpack strapped to his back, in Dover southern England
yesterday. Ross, who normally flies an Airbus airliner, swapped the plane's
controls for four jets attached to a wing on his back to get across the
Channel.-Xinhua/AFP
