Default James Bond Micro Jet

Real nice video sequence from a special produced for the History
Channel:
This is a 9-minute clip, 22.6MB, featuring an interview with the
builder/owner, Bob Bishop, and sumptuous footage of the craft in
flight over the Arizona desert. Also featured are intriguing
reminiscences by Bill Fornof's son, Corkey Fornof, who flew one of the
planes in a James Bond movie in 1983.
The excerpt is downloadable media; right click on the link & save to
file.
Best regards, Sandpebble

Where is the air intake?

Must be on the bottom by process of elimination but that doesn't seem like a
very good location from the FOD standpoint.

He says he's bailed out twice. The little thing must be pretty rugged to
come down by itself in rebuildable condition.

I want one.

Check those NACA inlets along the sides.

Dear Santa,

Ok, maybe I wasn't all that good this year, but if you get me one of these
mini-jets for Christmas I promise not to make anymore flash animations
featuring Jay Honeck all next year.
