"Oh yeah... I can fly."
(Quote from Iron Man, of course.)
For those who don't know, I can fly. Not in a plane, just in the air - I use my arms to steer, and twist my body to bank and swoop. It's fun.
Admittedly it's not the world's most useful superpower - in fact some might not call it a superpower at all, given that I can only fly inside a vertical wind-tunnel designed for that purpose. :)
To give you some idea of what this looks like, here's some footage of me flying:

Feels a lot like flying in dreams, except for those inconvenient glass walls :)
On Friday I learned a new trick, which made me pretty happy... so here's a video clip of me doing somersaults while floating in mid-air:

So far I've spent in the region of £3,600 (~$5000) on flying - for just over five hours of tunnel-time, spread over a couple of years.
And yes, it is definitely worth it :)
