Looks like 6 jet units at about $5,000 each = $30,000 minimum!

Not airplanes, small helicopters. I'd hate to try to cover 500 miles on one of those.

Definitely not for everyone!  I bet if you weigh over 150# you ain't getting off the ground and even then you ain't goin very far! Carrying fuel & batteries in your back-pack...

We are able to fly slowly above the ground enjoying the dreams of millions, seeing an Earth not scorched by war.   I've even been "escorted" on two occasions by bald eagles high above the valley over Duval!   

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from my family to yours.
