Sometimes I just want to fly away!

Ever since I was a kid watching NBC's mini-series based on Ray Bradbury's "Martian Chronicles" where a Earthling living on Mars got around using something like this, I've wanted one!

When I lived in Fresno, a friend had a couple of these and he had a blast! He'd take pictures and video while he flew! It seems so awesome!

I want one, but I've discovered as I get older, I get more fearful of heights. I don't know why.

Maybe I could just fly a few feet off the ground?
