He jumped out of a plane, flew around, and got back in.

I think you might be talking about "Jetman"

Can't see youtube at work...Yves Sossy, or something like that?

Pretty damned close! Yves Rossy.

Same guy - apparently he goes by Rocket Man now. Very impressive, what he has done.

I want to do that.

That first one is old news. Just a big ducted fan. I'll wait for the Iron Man repulsors or the Rocketeer pack. I think the Alcohol fueled turbofan would work, if you did it right. You'd almost need to have reaction thrusters at the hands for reliable control. Just like a Harrier.
