Certainly a fantastic way to travel (if you could afford it)
Imagine a VTOL option for those tight parking spots

Nice plane...can you buy me one?!

Actually, the stats look pretty good. Rotation at 85kts initially seemed very optimistic, but then I saw the wings.

They've gone with what looks a lot like the BAE Hawk.

Still, I think it's missing a set of these;

Thanks for the link Carl.

One problem....It doesnt look big enough to fit a large scope into the baggage bay.

Oh well, kids and wife can stay at home and the scope goes in the spare seat
