Jet Man



Well this is the coolest thing I'm likely to see today. If we ever get to build that mech/future war game we've been kicking around for the last few years, this is def going in there.

Thanks Defense Tech

His name is Yves Rossy. He's a Swiss ex-test-pilot. For more info: www.jet-man.com.

Of course, the personal-wing concept would be more militarily useful if it was totally non-metallic for lower radar signature; folded into a jumbo backpack for Special Forces foot/motorcycle mobility, hiding and airdrops; and could carry a Stinger or two to take down opposing aircraft, and maybe some sort of mini-Hellfire for ground targets.

Maybe your game version could do all that. 8^)

Jet-man is the coolest.

I am partial to the scifi WWII stuff ;-)

Something more like this J?

Thanks Stang. Looks like a cool game. We had done some bantering about what a cool game that would make, guess we can go play it now.

If you ever decide to pursue the mecha/sci-fi game, you might want to talk to MekTek.
They could at least give you a hand with their models.

Having a game using the WWIIO way of things and using this beasts:
