I mean, what infantile general decided he wanted his boys to have Batman outfits? And how the hell much did this fantasy cost us? Gizmodo reports…
"This Gryphon Single-Man Flying Wing is a parachute system whose 4.9-foot Delta wing has two jet engines on board that can carry a paratrooper 110 miles on a half gallon of jet fuel. The device will be tested in an third quarter of next year. The mission starts when the brave soul wearing this birdman outfit takes a flying leap out of an airplane at 33,000 feet—hopefully equipped with warm clothes and oxygen—and flies the jet wing wherever he's going until he gets to an altitude of about a mile. At that point, somehow our intrepid hero sheds his wing and opens a parachute, letting that wing dangle below him as he floats to the ground."
The secret word is Budget

I'm thinking of your character Jet Ace from "Last Stand of the DNA Cowboys"...
One size fits all or each is personally fitted before manufacturing?
Being tall can really suck & in this case it could be a very dire problem.
Yeah, well I watched 'Iron Man' last night and that sucked as well...
I tell you, boy, the whole birdman thing has always been doomed to failure. Ask Icarus. Humans just can't flap their arms fast enough.
YOU'RE NOT FOGHORN LEGHORN!! NO "I SAY, I SAY I SAID" = FUCKING IMPOSTOR!
A thousand curses! My deception is revealed.
This has to be a boy thing.
No, Pepsi, it's a bird thing.
