Did you ever dream of owning a Jet Pack when you were a kid? A friend of mine may have found the next best thing?

I did NOT need to know about this...

I really didn't...

And they have one that can handle pilots up to 400 pounds...

No license required...

Oh man..... Oh boy oh boy oh boy...

Something to save for... And dream...

It is fun! Although a little bit like flying a swing set! After flying Ultralights with fixed wings, I just couldn't get into it. Also, my knees took a beating doing it!
Give it a try, you just might love it!

Also, Some dealers have little carts that the paramotors hook up to so you don't have to wear the motor on your back, and you just sit in a seat and fly. That was a WHOLE lot easier on the knees.
Check out   http://www.flightjunkies.com/   The guy that runs this outfit in Ohio, offers Free flight training if you buy from him and he lives and breaths what he does. He goes by Kap'n Kurt Fister. Give him a call if you are curious about the sport. He does love to talk and is hard to get off the phone.
