Putting things together

Gerard Martowlis arriving with belt and peroxide, filling it, and made a  static test, pic right Sara and Gerard with Hal Graham, who they handed a "Doctorate in SRLD flying".

I would like to thank everybody who made this second rocketbelt convention to a succes. Speacially Kathleen Lennon Clough, The US Air Force-Niagare Falls, The Suitor family, The Michaelson family, Gerard and Sara Martowlis, Andrew Filo, Hal and Millie Graham, The Niagara Aerospace Museum, GoFast-JetPI, who made spectacular rocketbelt demonstrations, and all others I did not mention (but not forgotten). Thanks again.

Ky and Juan got along very well, discussing rockets and rocketbelts. Ernesto, Juan's technical advisor watching

USAF Thunderbirds, Mr. Carusso the very friendly Hangar Locationmanager, Wilma and Sara behind the table

Andrew Filo demonstrating his VERY realistic Rocketbelt simulator/trainer. Everybody who tried it, was amazed about the great graphics, and realistic flight characteristics. This is the next best thing to a real rocketbelt, believe me!!

Mexico meets the US, Wilma (Netherlands) and His Eminence, Press talk (Russia and Canada), so pretty International

On Sunday, Gerard Martowlis made a great static test, in front of some 75,000 people. This kind of static test is unique, and by my knowledge never did before. I was the lucky man who helped him stay put to the ground. A strange feeling pushing a man to the ground when you feel him getting light-feeted.

A unique picture... two rocketbelt pilots in one place. Eric and Gerard. Bill Suitor was the guest-speaker, introducing Gerard and Eric to the crowd.

Gerard preparing.. who was the most exited ?

Static test made safely. Congrats Gerard. I know under what pressure you did this great job.
