Mike,

I'm going to give it even higher acclaim, I'm calling it a "dead-set grouse" idea!!

Cheers,
Mario

I doubt they'd get away with it around cities in Australia .. aircraft/airspace restrictions ..

I guess it might work out in the country areas, though.

Interstingly, Joseph Kittinger jumped out of his ballon at 102,800 feet (in 1960).

Can you imagine what that must've felt like ??

Good one Mario .. good Dad/Son project !

Cheers
