| | Skywalker jet packs in development - Engadget |
 | | No matter how played flying cars, kayaks, and other strange contraptions are, the allure of a jet pack strapped onto your back just doesn't seem to lose its luster. |
 | | Rick Herron, creator of Skywalker Jets, has devised a rocket pack that weighs about 90 pounds and can propel a 200 pound pilot around the air for what is likely the most invigorating 5 minutes of their life. |
 | | I read some where that some UK spankhead actually made a jet engine which he retro-fitted on to a grocery cart (http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2-2004461787,00.html) I am pretty sure Skywalker Jet's (what a name) price would be substantially lower if he built the engines himself since spankhead made his under 50 UK pounds excluding gas. |
