That flight took place out of Bex, about 18 km from Montreaux (jazz Festival). Nice strip with interesting machines on the field.

I've seen that vid before, but it's still incredible footage. One thing I noticed this time around is that he jumps out of the plane with the wings still folded! I can't imagine unfolding those wings in midair, I wonder how it's accomplished. Still the feeling when he turns those rockets on must be unreal. It'd be a major bummer though if the ones one side didn't turn on or ran out several seconds before the other side though eh?
