I’m ready to fly in one. It isn’t the flying that is of any concern.

Maybe we should have an eVTOL MennoMeet?

1. Are we discussing the topic? Good.
2. Are we going around and around in a fight? Let's stop doing that.
3. Is there some serious wrongdoing or relational injury? Let's address that, probably not in public and certainly not for show.

I didn't say they were economically feasable, practical or a good idea.

We have a national guard base to our northwest, and I am always seeing/hearing various aircraft overhead. Blackhawks, Chinooks (my favorite!) and every once and again, a few V-22 Ospreys. Not electric, but still neat to see flying.

I hope the price will come down to my range eventually. (Or, you know, I could just get up into its price range.)

Similarly I’ve been trying to figure out some way I could join the Marines while still remaining nonresistent:
