Raging Raven from MGS4 is Real
Char Aznable \| 10:20 AM on 09.26.2008	22 comments

You know the Raging Raven boss from Metal Gear Solid 4? Yeah, that's real now.

Yves Rossy, a 49-year-old former military pilot, became the first person to cross the English Channel using a single jet-propelled wing. With a large wing mounted to his back and four kerosene-burning turbines, Rossy used his head and back (no rudder or tail fin) to steer the contraption during the 22-mile flight from Calais to Dover before parachuting to safety. Here is the man in action:

The flight was filmed for the National Geographic Channel and was also covered by the BBC. Video of the flight can be seen on the BBC's website.

Stock up on your rations and cigarettes, people. This could turn ugly.

GigaMach

I JUST watched that this morning. Super cool.

Phantom Spaceman

Does he also randomly knock you off the roof with grenades for instant death?

Trev

Hot damn. It IS the future after all. Up next: Cold fusion, flying cars, and green space babes. Get cracking, science.

EightBitMav

That is entirely basass-ical

He's probably playin' rage showan games now that it's over and they'll probably never let him do it again.

Aziel13

RAAAGE!

fetusmilk

reminds me of these old toys from the 80's
it took me forever to remember the name of these toys/cartoon.
"the centurions"

Char Aznable

The Centurions were fucking AMAZING! I loved the toys with the holes in the bodies so you could attach all the different equipment and shit. So cool, good call man.

Krow

Do you still play Starcraft Char? I might be eleven years late to the party, but I'm thinking about getting into Battle.net.

Char Aznable

Yes, I still play from time to time now that my Xbox is out of commission. My names on there are CharAznable420 and KOA_WmFCoates (named after my old computer programming teacher). I usually switch between the two if I'm bored and want to do some griefing for the hell of it. But yeah, add me or send a PM through Dtoid, whatever. I'm down.

StarCraft still holds up after all this time. If you don't mind the graphics, which aren't bad (but aren't amazing either), it's very fun. You can probably pick up the Battle Chest - whatever the hell it's called - for dirt cheap, so I'd jump on that.
