A Flight Into the Future!


While on holiday recently off the coast of North Carolina, I got an opportunity to try out flyboarding, perhaps the closest I'll get to flying an actual jet pack until scientists get off their duffs and get serious about the future. Takeaways: 1) Jet packs will be awesome. 2) Leaning back on a flyboard is a not recommended.

A short video of a portion of my flight follows...





Flyaway Friday: Grand Canyon Flight

Greetings, High Fliers!

Happy to pass on the news that Swiss "Jetman" (obviously should be "Jet Pack Futurist," but something was lost in translation) Yves Rossy recently completed an eight-minute aerial tour of the Biggest Hole in the Ground in the World. Watch video captured during the flight below or read more about it here.



Is this the future of vacations out of doors? All signs rocket to "yes!"

Yours in flight,
Jeff
