I’ll settle for the JetLev water-powered jet pack. You get 30 minutes of flight time, for about $140,000 US, I think. Yeah, you can’t go more than 25 feet or thereabouts, but if you only have 30 seconds of flight time on the other two, how high do you want to be when you run out of fuel?

So that’s what it looks like when your D&D character straps on a bunch of Decanters of Endless Water.

I think I’ll watch The Rocketeer again.

Here is the clip you’re thinking of, especially the shot at the 3:55 mark. From when movies were made with miniatures and matte shots. I want one!
