AN INCREDIBLE video showing one of the first ever test flights of a $150K ???jet pack??? in the early 60s has resurfaced this week, giving a glimpse of what it was like to be the original rocket man despite not being a pilot and only ever having driven a car prior to flying a rocket pack. The video, taken in June of 1961, shows Buck Rogers fan and pilot of the ???rocket belt??? Hal Graham strapping himself in before attempting to fly over open ground, cars and helicopters. It was one of the first ever open tests of such a device, with the first taking place in April of the same year before a series of further tests to assess the belt???s capabilities. Graham was chosen as pilot by creator Wendell Moore after working as a test engineer for just over a year at the Bell Aircraft Company, despite the fact that he had no prior piloting experience. Moore had asked for a volunteer from the company after coming up with the concept, and Graham was quick to step forward / mediadrumworld.com
