Seven pilots lined up in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in February. They had jet engines strapped to their hands and backs. They flew in the first jet suit race! A company called Gravity Industries makes the suits. The engines run on the same fuel as planes. Pilots hovered over a water channel. They sped around obstacles. The suits can go 80 miles per hour. Issa Kalfon from the United Kingdom won.

David wrote that if he could fly on the wings of the morning, even there God would lead and hold him. (Psalm 139:9-10)
