   This one made me do a double-take:

   skydiver/glider

   This thing is apparently for real: paratroopers jumping out at 30,000
   feet can glide well over 100 miles on this thing before opening the
   chute. Almost impossible to see on radar, and can carry up to 200
   pounds of eqipment along with the diver himself. [1]More details at
   Epoch Times.

   That's going to make [2]HALO jumps almost seem primitive.
