Like A Jet-Powered Bird

The other day, Yves Rossy took to the skies in Switzerland with a winged backpack loaded with four mini-jet engines.
He swooped and soared for a handful of minutes before cutting the engines and pulling the cord on his parachute and drifting to the ground.
It's pretty awesome, if I do say so myself. Read about it here.
When I saw the first pictures from it, though, all I could think was, "Hey! I've seen that before!" It took me a little while to remember where...

Then I realized not only had I seen it in that comic, but I had the toy, too.
And now I feel like just that much more of a geek. :)
