Swiss Jetman, Yves Rossy has another flight for the aviation history books. This time he synchronized to fly in formation with two Aero L-39C Fighting Jets, from the largest private aerobatics team, both sponsored by watchmaker Breitling.
The world's first jet-powered man, jumped off a helicopter, flew some aerobatic figures before joining the two jets. To keep in formation with the Jetman, the two fighter jets had to reduce their speed to 220 km/h (137 mph), close to their stalling speed.
Rosssy is also known for having flown over the English channel, the Grand Canyon and flying a looping around a hot air balloon.

Address Is Approximate
A toy robot travels to the west coast with the help of "Google Street View"
Tom Jenkins made a short film - "Address is Approximate" about the "Toy Story" like robot who tries to go the west coast. The three minute - inspired - short film uses "Google Street View" as a backdrop. Very cool and will potentially go viral.
