There is a NZ company making jet-packs - except that it's not a jet; and pretty big to be called a "pack". Still, a very cool personal flying device.

Very cool. I tried to find out how long they estimate it can fly before refueling but they don't say. They just mention "it will fly at a reasonable speed for a reasonable amount of time".

Their target recreational price is $100,000. Not exactly affordable but also not so insanely priced that you'll never see one. I'll bet someday you'll be able to rent one for $100 a 1/2 hour.

I'd do it.
