Good point. Now that we're on the subject, how did they get permission to fly an experimental vehicle over a heavily populated downtown area?

They don't let any flight paths over downtown Chicago anymore -- unless you're the Blue Angels.

Do any of you remember the AVE Mizar? It was a Pinto crossed a detachable Cessna Skymaster. You could drive it like a car and then hook the wings on it and fly. They actually built 2 and 3 were being built when the project was scrapped. During a test flight, the Pinto detached from the aircraft section. Ouch
