it's called paragliding, you ride on air currents and wind currents, if done right you can stay up for most of the day using no engine or power at all.

Edit_

or this!!!

full screen it and dream of doing it some day, but really knowing deep down in your heart you would crash strait away and probably kill yourself. lol

We are mammals. Therefor we are not and will not ever be aerodynamic or light enough to simply fly without electronics or anything. I assume you're talking about wings or something, there are paragliders and parachutes that we can fly with for a limited time.

Birds are structured in such a way from their bone structure and density to their feather positions and fether structures. We can never match that without technology.

Anything is possible. Probable, on the other hand, is another story.
