Terrafugia Transition Flying Car

I would never have guessed that I would see a "Flying Car" during my lifetime, 
guess again!

 The Waterman Aerobile (Smithsonian)
 Older and newer Moller M400 Skycars
And now the Terrafugia Transition, a roadable light sport aircraft
 Wings fold for street driving
 Wings extended for flight, and yes, you do need an airport


For a mere $194K and 20 hours of "observed" flying time to get your sport flying license,
even you could own one of these modern marvels.  They will carry 2 persons with luggage and have a range of about 400 nautical miles on a tank of regular unleaded gasoline.  
It will go a little over 100 MPH in the air and 
roughly 65 MPH on the ground getting 30 MPG (ground).
