Question ID: 325259
Where is a picture/video of the man flying/piloting a jetpack in the
February 15, 2004 Daytona 500 Nascar race.  Having a story with it
(such as a news article) would be preffered, but is not necessary.  I
have confirmation from friends that they saw it, but I would like a
decent quality
picture (preferably 800x600 or greater, but will consider any picture
) of it, also video of any quality as a alternate.

Hello.

I've located a nice photo of the jet pack guy at the Daytona 500,
February 15, 2004.
Here it is:

I hope this helps.

Is that the best quality picture that can be found?  I was hoping for
one a bit higher resolution, thanks

Yes, it really was.

For one thing, there aren't a lot of high res photos of the event at all.

I looked at hundreds of photos from the Daytona 500, and, frankly,
practically none of them were 800x600 or better.

The other issue is that Jetpack Man doesn't seem to have been much of
a highlight of the event for most photographers.   The photo linked
above is actually the ONLY photo of him that I found.   ALL of the
other photos from the event were of the cars, drivers, Pres. Bush, Ben
Affleck, the Stealth bomber, Air Force One, etc.

In your question, you wrote, "...but will consider any picture) of it"

I'll tell you what.  I'll look some more today and try to scrounge up
something else. I'll let you know if I find anything.

Thanks so much for helping me out in finding that picture, I know it
took quite a while to find a picture of it, as I have tried before. 
Excellent researcher, I'm very impressed.
