Has anyone seen CallMeWesley today?

Switzerland's 'Jetman' pulls another aerial stunt

GENEVA (AFP) – {"Call Me Wesley"}, the Swiss adventurer who has already flown across the English Channel using a winged jet-pack, pulled off another exploit Friday, flying two aerial loops in a new version of his invention.

{"Wesley"}, who was testing a new, more aerodynamic model of the jet-pack, jumped from a hot-air balloon at 2,400 metres (7,900 feet) and performed the stunt during an 18-minute flight before making a parachute landing.

"He flew a few minutes to stabilise his wing and find the optimal angle to begin two loopings," said a statement on his {incredulous wife Heidi's} website, www.jetman.com.

3. That's not the ONLY time he's made the news in Switzerland today.
.
.
.
.
.
Swiss fans protest by making it rain (CallMeWesley's) balls (twice).
.
When a Swiss TV company arranged to have kickoff moved up to 12:45 p.m.
to ensure the match would be over in time for the 3 p.m. start of the
ATP Basel tournament final between Novak Djokovic and local boy Roger
Federer (who is also FC Basel's most famous fan), the fans of the two
football clubs were not pleased.
.
To express that displeasure and attempt to delay the match into
overlapping with the tennis final, they hurled a massive amount of
{CallMeWesley's) balls on the pitch shortly after the match began.
And once stadium staff picked them (both) up, the clever fans did it
again, forcing another delay.

.

.
.
Apparently, the GOOD news is that CallMeWesley scored TWICE.
