Alternatively we could use something of the Rocket Belt from Pilotwings 64...
EDIT: No Pilotwings article? Well, here is what a google image search reveals:
Alternatively there is the regular google search, which shows a few youtube videos of stages involving it:

I think Deboss' number 2 would work or the pic from Johnny Quest. but since the trope also covers rocket boots could we use something like this

One of

The Rocketeer (or Commando Cody) seems a no-brainer for this trope, so I'd go with Deboss' #2. Curiously, there don't seem to be any good images of Commando Cody that actually show his jet pack clearly.
Jet-a-Reeno!I agree that the Rocketeer is a great subject. Here's some other options:
Shows the actual jet pack more

Different angle of the same thing

Flying with a plane

Ooh, that "Flying with a plane" Rocketeer image is great - and it's Russ Heath, too! (I would think the Betty plane art should be OK? It's only relatively modest lingerie.)
Jet-a-Reeno!Crowner made and hooked. Whichever one we choose, we definitely need to put the others on ImageLinks.Jet Pack
Let us start the new year, by trying to bring some old threads to an end.
Is this result clear enough, or should we wait a bit after the bump? Considering that one additional person could change the result to an draw.
The issue of the current leading image being maybe NSFW is mentioned. Where do we normally draw the line? Especially with tropes where a NSFW picture is not expected?
I'd actually disagree on that. Cropping out the plane would ruin the composition, and make one of the other images a better choice, probably.
Well, only about an hour later, it's changed to 11-6, but the real key is in the proportions: the one with the plane is 16-5 or just a hair above 75% approval; the one in second place is 11-5,or just a hair above 66% approval. And this crowner has been open for nearly three months.
I'd say put up the one on top and add the others to ImageLinks.Jet Pack.

I think it's a robot fighting a dragon in low earth orbit, but I'm not certain on that, much less where the Jet Pack comes in.
