His own flight instructor, John Amundsen, calls his roadway landing, incredible.”Watching that video, he was just awesome,” Amundsen said. “I just hope, you know, if I ever have a situation like that I can be as cool as Kyle was.”No injuries were reported.Sunday’s incident didn’t scare Davis away from the skies. He plans to fly his own plane to the Sun ‘n Fun Fly-In later this week.It’s unknown what caused the engine failure.

It’s awesome how he got the aircraft into the parking lot and off the road at the end.

Swiss pilot/inventor Yves “Jetman” Rossy used a new version of his jet-proppelled wing to fly for a total of 18 minutes. He also did a couple of loops around the hot air balloon that he jumped off from.

In 2008, he made a flight over the Alps with an older model, reaching an average speed of 200 km/h and a top descent speed of 304 km/h.

I wonder if this thing will hit the mainstream market anytime soon?
