It’s the future, where’s my flying car?
A pparently,
the future is now, and it’s brought to you by the
good folks at Terrafugia. In the July issue of
Ultraflight Magazine, Tim Kern takes an in-depth
look at the Terrafugia Transition. The Transition is
a flying car. No, really. It’s legal to drive it on
the highways and byways of the United States, and,
once the wings are unfolded and the powerplant
shifted over to flight mode, it can be flown as a
light sport aircraft.
Ah, but of course you’re thinking that flying cars
have been developed before, and none of them proved
much of a success. Well, Terrafugia feels that they
are poised to bridge the gap between airport and
garage, and do so as a successful business. But to
find out how, you’ll have to read the issue! Now,
where did I put my rocket pack…
Discovering Virginia’s Eastern Shore
 Most
people take their local area more or less for
granted. We see the sights every day, and while
those sights are often beautiful, even spectacular,
they’re also familiar. However, even a very short
trip away from your home base can reveal unexpected
gems. That’s the experience Terri Sipantzi had when
he and a friend flew their trikes to Campbell Field
on Virginia’s Eastern shore, not terribly far away
from Terri’s home base in Lynchburg, VA. Terri and
his friend John Milhous saw some truly beautiful
scenery, which they’ve shared in this issue of
UltraFlight.
Olympics for Pilots
 The
World Air Games are just what author Jeff Goin says:
the Olympics of Airsports. This international
competition, held this year in Spain, host hundreds
of flyers, in disciplines from aeromodeling to
helicopters. This year, the US was represented by
Jeff Goin, Stanley Kasica, and Chad Bastian in the
paramotor division and Scott Johnson and Larry
Mednick in the trike division.
