“Jetman” flies in formation with two Swiss Albatross jets over Alps

Bringing to life the stuff of science fiction, Swiss jetman Yves Rossy stunned onlookers with an amazing flying display in formation with two jet planes over mountains and valleys on Thursday.
After previously crossing the Channel, flying alongside two Boeing Stearman biplanes carrying the 'wing walkers,' looping the loop around a hot-air balloon and hurtling across the sky over the Grand Canyon, Rossy has shifted up yet another gear with his synchronized flight alongside a jet team near with Swiss town of Rochers-de-Naye.
After gaining enough altitude the jet-powered man jumped from a helicopter with his rigid wing backpack equipped with four jet engines.
Once free of the helicopter Rossy began his freefall before engaging power.
Adjusting his trajectory and altitude by his body movements alone, he then performed aerobatic figures above the Swiss Alps in the company of two L-39C Albatros planes.
The jets from the Breitling team were in radio contact with Rossy as he flew and joined him at a pre-arranged meeting point where they reduced speed to enable the jetman to fly alongside them.
Due to the turbulence and heat caused by the two Albatros jets, he was not able to catch up with the planes from behind. Instead he had to fly in from the right-hand side via a long, high-speed sweeping turn.
In order to synchronise their flight paths the jets had to reduce their speed to 220 kilometres per hour (137 miles per hour), which put their engines at a point close to stalling.
After stabilising their speed, the three flew just meters from each other for about ten minutes 1500 metres (approximately 5000 feet) above the ground.
Rossy eventually released his parachute and safely glided back to earth.
