Did you see the skydiver with a wingsuit with 2 jets strapped to his
boots?

Too cool !!!

Did you hear him say that he was able to maintain level flight for half a
minute, until his tanks went dry? That is what I think he said.

Lets see, what if you put 6 or 8 of those 50 pound thrust units in a jetpack
type of arrangement. You should be able to maintain level hovering flight,
right? Fuel demands would mean that you could not hover for very long, but
it would be much longer than the current jet packs in use, right?

You know, if I had enough money, I might just take that project on!
