Come Fly With Me

As you know there is this fascination with drones it fascinated me when a  toy helicopter so captivating took me by surprise.  For this cheap price I could afford to buy one.  I figure a safe bet would to spend a good price to get one  that flies but my neurosis has taken over and I crashed to many of these model aircraft mostly the model helicopters which came before the drones.  Now they are more sophisticated than ever and will do just about anything and it is your or my choice which to fly and what expenses it takes to get one up and flying and not for it to come crashing down at a grand a pop.  I've lost too many helicopters and I know these drones will crash as well despite all the  talk on how safe and reliable they are.

To satisfy my lust for flight I took up kite flying as a temporary gratification to see an object in the air.  My common senses has overtaken my desire to see objects in flight with a managed control over budget and so for awhile kites were affordable.  I even invented the kite launcher and flew kites so many times over and over again to prove my point that kites can be launched from a backyard without a runway.  The advantages of the drone over the kite is that it was designed to hover just as the Harrier jet was made to do.  I designed the turbo thrusters on a Harrier jet to fit a bomber which enabled such a bomber to fly without a runway and serious aircraft corporations took note and made contact with me.  But mistake me not for a weapons designer I seek peace not war.

From time to time I would say outlandish statements to the effect  that cars will eventually transpire to flying cars.   I'm looking at a viewpoint of the total picture or that which prompts invention and invention is what is screaming to us and get on with the trials and tribulations of the traffic rush.  Oh the madness.  I saw the madness last night in my car.  I admit it is never going to end for when cars or drones that fly in mass numbers....well no...maybe not for I cannot imagine the backup and frustrations of drones in flight as long as air traffic control in implemented.  I never thought of people flying in drones as passengers or even flying in one at all for it many of our minds we thought of drones as remote controlled models never imagining them to be big enough to carry a full size human being.  When science fiction becomes a  realization of some events to come I stand in awe.  What about you?  I grew up in an era when the Dick Tracy wrist watches seen in comic books was a  thing of the imagination little did I know that it would become a real invention seen nowadays as the I-phone.  The video accompanies the audio portion of the phone.  ?  And now we have vehicles or aircraft which will take real live  people into their own private whatever be it an airliner jet to the private fly it yourself human sized drone.
