Fly Over the English Channel?

That's what Yves Rossy just did. Would You?

I think I would. Maybe not, but it does look cool, especially if you can bank and swoop around a bit. How about some guns attached to the wings, with trigger mechanisms in a hand?
If someone gets on your wrong side, strap on these loaded wings and when the offender is out mowing the lawn, dive bomb, rain some bullets right in front of him, then swoop off. Now that would be fun.

It must be getting late.
