#1 Fun read - Thx tipper!

I dunno how long it will take for the vision of a common flying future, brewing for at least the last 50 yrs, to take off and become reality, but perhaps NASA's pgm will help. It's unclear how there is any coordination between vehicles - none is indicated I that read - so the magic of highways in the air is still dependent upon pilot skills. The FAA is as much a dinosaur as any Govt agency, so I don't figure there will be much cooperation from that direction, either. Fun to dream about, anyway. I've flown an ultralight - took about 10 minutes to "master" - that's total time on the ground and after liftoff - and it was a scream. To be in something better in terms of performance and directional control, yet as easy to fly, is a rush to consider, heh. Pricey, but the good shit always is.
