| 669616 | 2008-05-15 03:39:00 | Having just seen Ironman on friday, this is pretty freaking cool. I guess to some people being a fighter jet pilot for eight years just isn't cool enough... |

| 669617 | 2008-05-15 04:07:00 | Be cooler if he could actually glide down for a landing instead of using a parachute. Kind of robs it of a bit of panache ... | Biggles (121) | ||
| 669618 | 2008-05-15 04:31:00 | I agree, awesome to watch when he is in flight, but it is a pity he can't take off under the power of that thing either. It looks a bit of a struggle to get out of the plane with that strapped to his back, as well as the landing under parachute. All respect to him though - it must have been a heart stopping moment the first time he jumped out of a plane with that strapped on to his back! | John H (8) | ||
| 669619 | 2008-05-15 04:41:00 | The complications of take off would be too much. He won't be generating enough power for that, plus he isn't really locked into a suitable form for take off. He really is doing bit of a Buzz Lightyear. I.E., falling with style .... Still damn cool though. |

| 669621 | 2008-05-15 07:18:00 | Off to Sidders to see the daughter later in the year. Where can I buy three? That is, one for me, SWMBO and 7yr old grandaughter. Now that would be fun Ken PS SWMBO says she wouldn't be laughing and therefore, nor would I!! :mad: |
