Oh, HELL no.

That's not flying, it's falling with style.

Apparently there's a guy working on a glide suit with the goal of landing without a parachute. Now that's insane!

I agree with Tom, that's not flying.
*This* is flying ... Jet-Man ...

That is cool!

I just watched something on Discovery channel about him. He said his goal is to be able to do a loop. They showed one of his mid air wrecks and the damage the wing took, he was repairing it when they did the filming.

I dream i'm doing something more like staying afloat. I can get in the air, a few feet off the gorund, and I struggle to stay in the air. I do stay in the air, but as i said, it's work.

I had a similar dream as a kid all the time. My mind was a bit too grounded in reality, I think.

I read an article about him. He's going to build a giant landing strip, built at an angle so he'll land as if down the side of a hill or something. Still insane, but not quite as batshit insane as regular flat ground. ;\)
