Uh.....wow.
Nevermind. The one for sale, the T-73, actually is supposed to let you fly for 9 minutes.
Um.....wow.
Speechess here. That is a TREMENDOUS.......INCREDIBLE advance in jetpack technology.
Even last year I read that they would only take you for about 30 seconds. 9 Minutes. Dang that is incredible.
I need to find a job field that will pay me enough to afford that. Wow. I would have to become a CEO or something though...
Still waiting for that Moller SkyCar. It has supposedly been in talks with the FAA for like 10 years.
You need a job as jetpack test pilot! ;-)

Basically a personal helicopter, but for 50 grand, not too bad.
Of course, like the Moller SkyCar, who knows if and when it will actually happen...
May never actually end up being sold.
Would be fun to cruise over a bunch of lefties on the beach :)
