HUALAPAI INDIAN RESERVATION, Ariz. -- The JetMan's flight has been canceled.

Swiss daredevil Yves Rossy tells KTTV-TV in Los Angeles that his plan to fly over the Grand Canyon in a jet-propelled wing suit Friday morning has been called off because he didn't have enough time to train.

The Federal Aviation Administration had approved plans for the 51-year-old adventurer to use Arizona's scenic wonder as a backdrop for his first U.S. flight in the suit.
