Flying like a bird and catching planes in your hand (a double dose of aviation excellence)

(CBS) - Occasionally we come across videos and think to ourselves, there's a theme we can put together here. Prepare to be blown away by a double dose of aviation excellence.

First up, we have a video of a man successfully doing what so many have tried to accomplish before: flight! Not by plane or helicopter or similar means, but by literally making a set of wings that actually work. Check it out to see exactly what I mean. 

The video was posted by YouTube user jarnosmeets80 who writes:

We did it! This weekend I flew a 100 meters with my selfbuilt wings. I used a GoPro-camera on my helmet to film the flight. I have always dreamed about this. But after 8 months of hard work, research and testing it all payed off. Enjoy!

Are there questions about this possibly being faked? Of course, and we share in some of the doubts (and we encourage you to comment with your own). But the video is stunning to watch either way, and you can learn more about the project by clicking here.

And next up we have this amazing perspective video by Crazy Horst of RC planes being caught in a series of compilations that will both calm and astound you. Enjoy.
