Guy in a jet pack wheels around LAX at 3,000 ft.  Illegal for so many reasons; been in jail, you wouldn't like it.

I wonder if its that guy in Australia or New Zealand.  I used to track his progress, he was working on it for a solid 15 years at least and making decent forward progress in regards to weight, size, and lift.

Now I need to find his website again.

Whatever the story behind it, I want to know more!  3,000 ft is ballsy.  LAX airspace is pretty dumb.

There was a vid going around about a year ago of someone from Dubai(or nearby) that did a pretty long & high flight off a dock. I was surprised by both the flight time & altitude. 
 

Edit: this one. Watch his 2nd flight, he gets quite a bit of altitude.

Nope, this is for the kids, not those heading into senior citizenry.

Probably in 20 years we will all be flying a jet pack.
As for me, I would fly over a big city or over a wilderness.
But unfortunately I can only walk or drive, I don't even think about flying in real life.
