Wow. I'm kind of at a loss for words. I flew over the Grand Canyon in a helicopter in June so.... so what? This is just amazing. Thanks for posting this.....

Yippee! Something for everyone to try....NOT! 8)
For a bit of perspective, I backpacked across the Grand Canyon three times in two-weeks and and finished my stay by reaching the North Rim on July 4, 1976....to celebrate the Bicentennial. Never thought about trying this approach.
And I'll bet I spent a few $$ less than he did.
I'd still rather hike the canyon! :wink:
I'm just sayin',

For some reason, about the time he debarked, scuba-diver style, and proceeded into a dive (building up airspeed?), I started laughing uncontrollably. Maybe it was 'cause all I could think about was coyote, chasing roadrunner...

Seems that I caught a glimpse of an ACME logo in there somewhere... :shock: :lol:adorshki said:For some reason, about the time he debarked, scuba-diver style, and proceeded into a dive (building up airspeed?), I started laughing uncontrollably.

I saw Breitling. Good thing their jets appear to be as reliable as their watches. Don't know if Acme's gonna pursue any patent infingement claims though. 8)killdeer43 said:Seems that I caught a glimpse of an ACME logo in there somewhere... :shock: :lol:adorshki said:For some reason, about the time he debarked, scuba-diver style, and proceeded into a dive (building up airspeed?), I started laughing uncontrollably.

I heard that Acme actually contracted Breitling to do the work. Something about a spotlight or something of that nature.... 8)
Acme likes to keep a low profile. 8)

Totally phenomenal! :shock: :shock:
It looked as though he goes in to a flat spin at one point and then rights himself. Amazing aerobatics. :shock:

I was amazed at Yves Rossy's first flight over the English Channel (France to England) in 2008. He has perfected a few things and has a different sponsor, it seems. New meaning to the phrase "Wing Man".... Ah, he's Jetman......oops! 8) :wink:
