At best this post was a sales pitch, pure spam. At worst it was a scam. To me this post is inappropriate and the thread should be closed. ---

Yes, the original post sounds like a badly written infomercial. Nevertheless, it has given us the opportunity to discuss reasons why combining a car with an airplane has always been and will always be a bad idea mechanically, aerodynamically, and economically. ---
