JetMan Quietly Makes Historic Flight Over Grand Canyon

With a pair of rockets strapped to his back, Swiss adventurer "JetMan" Yves Rossy soared over the Grand Canyon over the weekend, marking the flying man's first U.S. flight.

Steering only with movements of his body, JetMan launched from a helicopter at 8,000 feet over the canyon and skimmed the walls of one of the America's grandest natural formations on a sunny weekend morning, before deploying his parachute and descending to the Canyon floor.

Just don't ask when it happened.

While a spokeswoman for the adventurer said that the flight was a success, and issued a picture of Rossy over the Grand Canyon, she could not specify what time Rossy flew, or even whether the flight was on Saturday or Sunday.
