    I’ve never seen a flying cah
    I hope I’ll never see one
    But if I ever do,
    I’d rather see than be one !

    Could have sworn I left my rocket pack around here somewhere…….

    That is one pretty vehicle, isn’t it? I’d worry about the strength of the wings in turbuence, though.And I admit I’d rather have a Pilatus PC-12. But that’ll have to wait for a BIIIIIG lottery win.

    Saw a guy with a rocket backpack in the ealry 1960s; it could fly for about 30 seconds. They’re still news occasionally. And they still have no range whatsoever. :)

    The idea of today’s motoring public having the ability to fly sends chills though me.

    Thinking about them having that ability flying over or through my home while using as much focus and concentration as I see used on our roads… in a word — SCARY

    Yeah, can you imagine them where I live, in God’s Waiting Room, Florida ?

    They do have flying cars, and amphibious cars. I’ll wait for an amphibious flying car.

    Maybe we don’t have the flying cars, but we do have the phones that broadcast pictures that Stanley Kubrick promised in ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ thanks to Skype.

    I’ll just wait for the food replicator and the translocator interface.

    Come on old timers, if you want some flying cars, then get some dvd’s of The Jetsons….!!

    I don’t think many people took the idea of flying cars seriously. I remember a MAD Magazine once where they predicted every car would have a motor scooter on the back so no one would have to walk anywhere. The scooter hung from the tail fins… I could see some version of that happening.
    .
    Cars that drive themselves was another idea. That’s been invented. Right now there is a BMW that can drive itself almost anywhere in Berlin. It does have trouble finding parking spaces though.

    Flying parking spaces, ya.
