It could be an excellent aid to search-and-rescue in some parts of the world. I'm thinking about the area around what was once the "world's largest munitions storage area" in Nevada near Barron Hilton's Flying M Ranch where world record-holder, aviator and businessman Steve Fossett took off from on Sept. 3, 2007 in a small plane to scout out desert lake-beds for a test of the land-speed record, never to be seen again. If one had one of these, some day cheaper than helicopters (all?) and even easier to fly than a conventional airplane, one might imagine landing on numerous roads nearby areas to lend assistance perhaps or a convenient tool to use in location spotting and other emergencies requiring a quicker response than what has been up till now. Glad to hear it was at Oshkosh begosh!
