Haven't met the man yet, but always suspected he was a high flier.

Was this acheived with the use of several low fliers by any chance?

A low cost airline takes the definition of destination to a new extreme; passengers on a flight to Denmark are ejected when in close proximity to the Danish coastline ...

Claymore has been very quiet of late, so I'd guess he's been trying to perfect his technique before the public launch on CC2010.

A brace or two of low fliers may have been involved.

Ah see ye've been at the bottle again ye pair o disrespecfu scaldies.

What you'll find is that body mass has a lot to do with this but it is not the total picture. Now that I am retaining my sylph like self at 11.5 stones I don't need the gale of wind I might once have used to get me up. However, unless I have the box with me that I use to stand on to clean my teeth, I will need around 6 knots per 3 ins (According to the yogic matrix) for height beneath 6ft. so perhaps another 12 knots - which is to do with the increased velocity ( in the northern hemisphere of the gradient wind, near the windward mark) That means that I will probably need in the region of 41 knots to get me up.

Para being one who has moved up the blazer sizes in recent years and is now a member of the 46" chest club will not get aff the ground in under 51 knots of breeze - 64 if his wallet is on his person.

Shard is an interesting case - whilst he tops 6ft and is fairly solid - which the yogic flying matrix suggests would equate to 47 knots to get him airborne - his ears will contribute greatly to the situation and I can fairly confidently state that a mere 39 knots ought to do it.
