Ever watch “The Rocketeer” ? The movie portrayed a stunt pilot who become a superhero with jetpack to fly him everywhere. Unfortunately, it was only a movie…until now, or at least, after December 11 this year.

That’s right, you can have your own personal jetpack to experience how it’s like to be The Rocketeer. Jetpack International is working on a turbine powered jetpack with an estimated flight time of 19 minutes, covering a range of 27 miles at a max altitude of 250 ft. Best news is that it runs on easily available and cheap jet fuel.

The $200,000 price tag includes a training course, although it’s unclear what certification (if any) is required to operate a jet pack. Perhaps you could also learn from the expert, Rocketeer himself–assumed that you’re able to locate his hideout.
