Thread: Wanna fly? An inventor wearing a body-controlled jet engine suit flew!

Wow, that is freaking COOL!!! Especially the use of jets on his hands for control. I remember seeing somebody fly in a real jetpack in a little film clip from the 70's, and if I remember right I think they featured the jet pack in an episode of Gilligan's Island (??) - but it didn't have cool hand-mounted jet stabilizers like that!! I guess you gotta be in pretty good shape to fly that one - a lot of weight lifting or gymnastic ring work to develop those lats!

You mean, "It's a Bird, It's a Plane"? I tweeted out to AJLoCascio about this because I know how he loves the 1990 movie, "The Rocketeer" so much and everything that has to do with flying.
