I agree! That is cool! It reminds me of Captain Power and their flying armors. Very cool! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Is there any video of this we can see? I'd love to see how this thing lands.

Over on CBS news should have a link. I watched the silent video over on AOL newslink. It's probably over on YouTube.

Darn, beat me to it. I was going to title the thread :First SAMAS". Oh well, at least I can tell everyone the real good news. Shania Twain is single again! And I don't care what you think, I think she's hot!

It's actually more like the Death Wing, but now I'm splitting hairs.

Yes.... yes she is. But Shania still blew her Superbowl halftime show (really? lipsinking? that was her 'A' game?) and paled next to Gwen Steffani far superior performance.

The guy lands by parachute...
Fuel continues to be a problem of manportable propulsion systems...
But this is a step towards the dream of the 'batsuit' glider enthusiasts....at least one guy's working on jetboots that will ideally allow him to jump off a height, free-glide, then jet back up to do it all over again...

Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

Nice pic of the Gryphon! It looks cool! It figures that someone has another one that flys. I'd love to see it fly too! It does appear to be beginnings of a SAMAS!

I really hate GI Joe. It's a jingo-facist masturbatory fantasy.


What about Action Force?

the guy built his thing in his spare time over five years can you imagine if a compnay actually spent some money prefecting it.
I remember days like this when my father took me to the forest and we ate wild blueberries. More than 20 years ago. I was just a boy of four or five. The leaves were so dark and green then. The grass smelled sweet with the spring wind...For us, there is no spring. Just the wind that smells fresh before the storm.
