An extreme sports enthusiast set off fireworks that he attached to a helicopter in eastern China.

Video filmed in the city of Bengbu in Anhui Province on January 4 shows a man named Zhang Jixing tying fireworks onto a helicopter and setting them off while flying in the sky.

Zhang said he had always dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot. So he spent more than £300,000 to self-assemble two small helicopters.

Zhang set off the fireworks on his helicopters to welcome the new year.

1月4日，安徽蚌埠。一极限运动爱好者将烟花绑在直升机上酷炫放烟花，宛如战斗机“扫射”般的烟花漫布天空。
当事人张继星表示，自己从儿时就喜欢冒险、喜欢追求刺激，一直以来都梦想着成为一名优秀的战斗机驾驶员，但由于条件不允许，这个梦想很难实现。长大后，他就一直在努力实现自己儿时的梦想，总共花了270万左右，自行组装了两台小型直升机，平时常在在家门前的空旷地带练习飞行。正值新年，他开直升机放烟花是为了迎接新年的到来，也找一找开战斗机的实战感觉，实现自己儿时的梦想，“三年疫情，大家都很不容易。我们这边郊区也没有禁烟花，就想着来放一放，让大家也轻松轻松，我也体验一把这种感觉。”
