Swiss airline pilot Yves Rossy parachutes in to land, in front of a welcome banner from a British newspaper, after becoming the first person to cross the English channel with a jetpack strapped to his back, in Dover southern England September 26, 2008. Ross, who normally flies an Airbus airliner, swapped the plane's controls for four jets attached to a wing on his back to get across the Channel.  [Agencies]
