“Start spreading the news, we’re leaving today…on the world’s only real jetpack, New York, New York.” If Frank Sinatra was alive today, and still making music about the world’s biggest apple, there’s a good chance that the lyrics to one of his most famous songs ever would have been extremely different (especially if he’d recorded it sometime in the last week).
David Mayman, president of Jetpack Aviation and inventor of the JB-9 jetpack, is the man taking his jetpack for a spin in this video (see below). The footage shows David flying across the Hudson River and loitering around the Statue of Liberty like a human-sized wasp…from the future. It’s a genuinely awesome watch, one that will make your spirit soar.
