new way to fly?

https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/ele ... lingID=487

I just love the look on the "pilot's" (?) face, and all the aero details on his squirrel suit, those things have come a long way since their inception. I notice now that they don't flap or have wrinkles in flight, just nice and tight , like the early hang gliders to the current one's, a huge improvement.

Every time I see something like this, or the skydivers at Caldwell with their "batsuits", I think of Wile E. Coyote and his Acme batman suit, guaranteed for the life of the user.

Yep, and I start humming that Jeff Bridges tune from Crazy Heart. "Funny how fallin feels like flyin . . . for a little while."
