Strip club wins TradeMe JetPack auction

The opportunity to suit up as a test pilot in the country's first jetpack tourism operation has been snapped by an adult revue bar whose staff are better known for stripping off. The price: $5700.

A TradeMe auction - offering the chance to take to the sky as a test pilot - wrapped up today after receiving more than 200 bids.

Frighteningly (from a potential second-degree burn point of view), clothing-optional Christchurch strip club Calendar Girls was the winning bidder.

Jetpack tourism prepped for flight

It has taken decades to develop, but Jetpack tourism has taken little time to get up off the ground with the Christchurch company behind the idea now auctioning off test pilot duties.
