I'm not sure I would call this crossing the channel in unpowered flight with a 30,000 ft. (5+ miles) vertical boost at the start. If he had just done it off the white cliffs of Dover maybe but not when he needed powered flight to get up to the start to cross the 22 or so miles of the channel. It's impressive what he did nevertheless.
