For thousands of years, mankind has dreamed about flying. Those flying dreams eventually became a reality in 1903, but what about our childhood dreams about having personal jetpacks and becoming rocketeers?

In the 1960’s, a personal jetpack was developed by the army for soldiers to cross the mine fields in Vietnam. But commercialization efforts were halted as the jetpacks were powered by dangerous fuels, expensive to maintain, had a short flight duration, were too noisy, difficult to control, and came with a high risk of serious injuries and death.

But not to worry my friends, as the folks over at Jetlev Technologies, Inc. have something for all those aspiring rocketeers. Development started back in 2000, and after years of research and development, the Jetlev R200 is finally ready to be released to the public.

When they’re not busy incorporating their top of the line equipment for soldiers serving on the front lines, Hazard 4® and 911 Supply decided to team up and send us an updated version of their very versatile sling packs. But with a product coming from a company with this type of calibre we couldn’t just do a run of the mill type of review. So, I decided to hit the gun range to see how the pack affected my aim.
