I wonder, do they have standard flight equipment on the dash? Radio, altimeter, etc.?

It still has to fly airfield to airfield and I would imagine filing a flight plan would be necessary. Not like you could just drive down the street, put the wings down and take off behind your house.

Basically, a slow, short range plane that you don't have to leave at the airfield.

There are actually neighborhoods with airfields now, and you can taxi right to your house. John Travolta lives in one.

@tryfuhl: lol, yeah something like that
