All over the US, as well. Nice to see the man getting the recognition he deserves.

if you know of (serious) people who would sponsor, please PM me...

Seeing him fly was :o and filming it was the bomb...

how long did the flight last? some sources speak of five, other of 9 minutes!

and what was this "commercial availability" that was mentioned!? no tesla roadster, but a wing with jets on them!? :o:P:D

was around 8-9 minutes... with 2 barrel rolls :)
not commercially available yet... but who would have thought that jet-skis could be a commercial product 40 years ago...

maybe your kids will go to school with jetwings ;)

the exit of the barrel rolls are not very clean.. but you have to keep some progression margin :P

had a drink yesterday evening with Yves again. He is everywhere. ABC, CNN, NBC etc etc... The CNN video was interesting to see, you hear him flying, and you here the cameras shooting him in the flybys.
