We've been reporting on David Mayman and Jetpack Aviation for some years now, and today he's in Sydney to take another stab at a flight he tried to perform ten years ago. That time, wearing a hydrogen peroxide rocket belt, he ran out of juice and ended up crashing into the water.
Now, he's back with his roaring jet turbine JB-10 jetpack, and we were privileged to watch this stunning flight in person. Today's event, as well as being a chance for Mayman to redeem himself in his home city, was done to promote a new documentary called Own the Sky, coming soon to international release.
