Swiss pilot Yves Rossy, the first man in the world to fly under a jet-fitted wing,
speeds through the air to perform a looping in Bercher, western Switzerland,
Friday, Nov 5, 2010. Rossy has completed two aerial loops using his custom-made
jet-propelled wingsuit. Rossy jumped from a hot-air balloon above Lake Geneva
and performed the daredevil stunt before landing safely with a parachute.
