Yves “Jetman” Rossy, the daredevil who has gained fame with his turbine-powered jet-pack, completed another bold feat last week when he flew in formation with two L-39C Albatros jets from the Breitling Jet Team.

Rossy met up with the jets over the Swiss Alps after jumping from a helicopter with his jet-propelled wing strapped to his back. In order to achieve the coordinated flight, Rossy operated the jet-pack at full throttle while the Breitling jets slowed to a speed of 137 miles per hour.
