Here's something like what you are looking for--a roadable vehicle that
can fly. It is a parachute conversion for a Honda Reflex motorcycle.

Except he could easily do the trip twice as fast in a car, as with a
parachute and motorcycle. The wind limitations of a powered chute could
eliminate 50% or more of the days that would otherwise be flyable.

That is absolutely true.
However, it won't stop one person who actually *wants* to do it.
How else could you explain people who pay money to glide, or do hang-glide,
etc.
Even though this technology is not what I was envisioning, it's a start, and
it may or may not evolve.

If someone came up with some extremely inefficient vehicle that does what
I've proposed, *I* would probably try it.
And, it would probably be improved upon as time went on.
This is a LOOONG way from not being possible.
