I thought his 1st flight had 4 turbine as well. They looked like P-200's or 180's. Am I missing something?

I still think he's crazy, but he someone has to be when pushing the limits with style!

I'll be impressed when he learns to land it conventionally without the parachute *gg*

Best regards

This guy is 2 steps away from being in a small single seat jet. I've lost interest..

This guy is more realistic
from Finland, saw him on a TV show, turbine boots on his feet and a cool winged jacket.
He is the real jet man.

Yeah, right now they are saying he is getting 10 minute flight times but if he can get that up it would be one heck of an accomplishment, 27 miles is a long way.

I was in the Dusseldorf airport this morning and saw a clip on the TV advertising the show that was supposed to be aired on Sky TV today.

No rudder or brakes. I guess that means he can't fly in the US, at least if the AMA has anything to say about it. [sm=lol.gif]

Not so! Draggin' his weiner on the runway can indeed be construed, under AMA rules, as a brake. [X(]

He'd get a huge amount of reverse thrust just from all the screaming! [&:]
