Doug Heffernan... is the Rocketeer???

:eek This caught my eye while watching King of Queens the other night. That rocket pack look familiar to anyone?

Cool to know this prop still exists....but IMO it borders on blasphemy that they would dare to stick those goofy looking control handles on it. :angry

I posted a video of that episode in the off topic section a few months back...

A fellow member made a thread of it because the same pack was used in an episode of Thats 70S Show

Looks like, by the controls, it might be the same one used in the That 70's Show flash forward where Red uses the Rocketpack to get to work.

I think our very own rocketbobs restored that same pack for the studios

Interesting... so does the studio actually know what this prop is?

He restored it, and then they go and do THAT to it???

That doesn't make any sense.:confused

I believe so. I think the disney prop house rents it out to other studios etc etc.

I know he mentioned it in a post awhile back at the findheadcentral that he restored a pack for the studios to be rented out to other studios. I'm not sure if he attached the controls to the pack.
