I don't understand how it can fly. They keep the camera angle so you can't see, but the air drag from the size of testicles it takes to don that suit should make it un-airworthy.

Very awesome indeed. I could however, have done without the German *censored* music.

I believe he is a jet pilot in a European country, and has been testing and perfecting this wing for many years. His flights are getting longer and higher. Still not much room for fuel though. His flight controls are just his hands and feet.
If I won the Megamil, YES, I would join him too. That is soooo kewl

SOME of us virtuous innocents (read, "Nerds") did not recognize it as German *censored* music.

This guy flew over the Grand Canyon a few weeks back. At least I think it was him. Dude jumped from an air plane with 4 jets strapped to his back. 8 minute flight before landing. Pretty amazing.

It was him, I read about it in the paer but they had canceled it. Seems they did it afterall. First time I saw it they were doing test flights and then he flew across the English channel.

That's crazy but this is absolutely insane.
