Christopher -

Can I take off when I see a traffic jam and land on an empty freeway?

Great.
Now i have to watch for the people texting behind me and ABOVE ME.
With so many people "challanged" to properly navigate through 2D space - 3D space is going to be a real challange for them.

From the pictures it will probably take 2 lanes and require a long take-off. The old Mueller sky car went straight up but it would have been too loud for a cell phone! ;)

..."flying cars?"

...heck the Dukes of Hazard had them back in the late 1960's...remember the "General"

Late 1970's ;) It was the "General Lee".
I smoked a local look-alike from a stoplight with my '68 Chevelle SS in '79. :D Not that I would admit that on a public forum before 30 years had passed....:)

...ah, but could that '68 Chevelle SS "fly" like the General Lee did back in the late 70's?

Never tried. I'd bet it could... Once. :D

Depends on just what you were smoking :-)

Flying's easy

it's the landing that's hard.

This thing has remarkably similar specs to a C152... except the 10x price!
