Not to be a pessimist, but it was on 60 minutes this time last year
and they said next year then. It does fly as morrie scheafer flew it,
sorta. See discussion.

There's a link on today's MSNBC page to a recent CNN video report about
an "air scooter" that will purportedly hit the market next year for
$50K. It looks like an ultralight helicopter. No mention of aircraft
or pilot certification requirements. CNN is billing it as the solution
to road gridlock, though most of us would probably dismiss that thought
pretty quickly.

(Sorry, copying and pasting the link doesn't work because the link is a
parameter to a javascript routine that loads and plays a video. Maybe
someone else who is more technically savvy can figure out how to paste
the link here.)
