When I see those guys in their wingsuits, it looks very much to me like Superman style flying. If it's not exactly what you were talking about (flying on one's own steam, so to speak), it seems pretty close to me -- I don't think the comparison of your asking for a train and my showing you a car is a fair one. But -- I'm sorry that I wasted your time. I did not intend to do that.
You are excited by the idea of flying (like superman) and so am I. I think the wingsuits are an inspiring way of flying, and even to someone who won't be satisfied unless there is no "external" apparatus or help involved, it seems to me that this is a rather amazing and cool creation that some people have manifested into reality -- something that would absolutely dumbfound people living 100 years ago. Technology is advancing so quickly, I wouldn't be surprised at all if it gets even more supermanly before you're too old and rickety to participate.
And even superman used an external source -- solar radiation -- to charge up.
