Sorta like HAHO on steroids. You can damn near cover as much ground depending on wind speed.
I suppose the question is how long will a ~120mile trip be (and at what speed) and how much stress will it put on the body? They’d need to be a breeze to operate otherwise our men will be completely exhausted when they hit their mark.

I love stuff like this! I believe someone is coming up with a suit where you don't need a rocket or a parachute to use to jump off a plane. Of course I don't you can carry the gear you would need to be and effective fighter but that would be cool as hell.

What about those flying squirrel suits people wear when cliff diving? Add a couple weeks onto HALO school to learn that technique and be done with it.
