Wow.
55 gal carbon fiber fuel tank wrapped around your head.
15,000ft with a supercharged motor? I really didn't think internal combustion could go that high.

My old boss flew from Seattle to Oshkosh with 2 other people in small plane and it sounded cramped and brutal. I can't imagine going over the Atlantic.

I guy that worked at my place about 3 years ago used to build and fly his own helicopters. One day he crashed into a pond near his house and drowned. Sucks because he was a genius and super cool guy.

Nuts? I thought he was pretty cool. It seemed like he really knew what he had build and the capabilities of the helicopter and it was not his first one either.
