So he lights the rocket, jumps out of an airplane at altitude of 8,200' and jumps out. Then he parachutes to the ground when he gets there!

One things for sure....he's crazy!

To All:

For me seeing things like this make me feel really great I'm alive to see them.

They should have used Elton John's "Rocket Man"
for the background music.

In his grave I bet Leonardo would be Proud.

I'm now ready for him to start Crime Fighting.

I bet it was a sigh of relief when he saw the coast of France. I bet swimming in a pair of Wings, would Suck!

I think dropping a pair of real expensive wings to sink to the bottom of the English Channel, would Suck about as bad!

I guess next he follows in the footsteps of Lindburg.

To prepare, he better be able to drink a hell of a lot of Kerosine and have a Huge Bladder!

Ty
