Royal Canadian Air Force

Terrafugia Transition Dept: Just imagine , as the lottery says. If you run an OPP radar trap on the 401, all you have to do is hit a few buttons and voila! you re one Bandit that Smokey is going to have a hard time chasing down. They ll have to call in the Royal Canadian Air Force, once it gets its F-35s, according to The Star. The good news is that it runs on unleaded, does 70 mph on the highway, 115 mph in the air and gets 35 miles to the U.S. gallon on the ground . Fill her up bud, and check the aerilons and a sleek 65 Mustang with wings, it ain t. The Terrafugia Transition flying auto that has just rolled off the, uh, runway in Massachusetts looks more like a VW Beetle with an anxiety disorder. Or maybe a supersize dim sum, with fins. Chick magnet? Not so much. But if you re inclined to flights of fancy, this has gotta be your ride. At $279,999 a pop, the American two-seater street-legal plane with collapsible wings isn t likely to be the crowd-pleaser the 65 Mustang was, at $3,334. You won t have to glue a pink pom-pom to the antenna of your Transition to find it in the mall parking lot, anytime soon. The trip to the Service Ontario kiosk won t be fun, either. You ll be ponying up not only for your driver s licence and plate stickers, but also for a pilot s licence. And how is Drive Clean gonna handle a car with a 26-foot wingspan?
