There's a few guys strapping mini jet engines to themselves too. I
saw one guy on youtube stuffing bladders of jet fuel down his pants
before taking off on a hot air balloon, then he started up the jet
motors on his ankles and flew around in his squirrel suit for a while.
Good thing those bladders didn't leak on the way up!

I got that straight, right ?

The guy Did Not Know that he had a reserve parachute.

Yeah ?
Wow.
Nothing to say, heh ?

My ex-father-in-law was a Royal Air Force pilot who flew amazing things... Sunderlands and heavier and progressed through to jet bombers... Stopped in '69 so he had a good run of type ratings !

Remember those images of a Tornado flying through canyons ? It was released to the public during the start of the 1st Gulf war... It was actually a promo shoot gracia$$ to BAE. Anyway, this zoomie is sitting there - camera behind/over his head... great views out of the canopy... all real-time... coming really awfully close to what is known in the trade as CFIT ! This goes on for at least 5 minutes... It is not faked... every millimetre of the passage through the cayon is flown below the tops of the canyon walls.
It is all being controlled by 3 different computers. Lt. Zoomie no touchee nada !

Ex watches this...

Says, "It takes no imagination to do that."

Imagination would have been counterproductive at that point.
(90s era computers? Yikes! Faith is the word there!)
