Captain Zoom tests Flying Car
Terrafugia's Flying Car Proves Itself in the Air according to test
Pilot. Jim "Captain Zoom" Campbell successully completed Terrafugia's second flight today. Despite the predictions of a whole number of nay-sayers, I was successful," said Campbell. "The handling characteristics were great, with delightful control harmony and minimal phugoid oscillations. Campbell continued "After a few trips around the patch, I explored the edges of the envelope by doing a few snap rolls, and spinning and loooping it." Following the flight, Campbell demonstrated the versatility of the Terrafugia by driving to Starbucks for a Latte, then cruising Main attempting - unsuccessfully - to pick up women. Back at the airport he announced "Now that I've got a couple hundred hours in the Flying Car I've arranged to test the Flying Pickup Truck and the Flying Sport Utility Vehicle." Longtime Zoom observer Shczk Crzshlrsczrk commented "I think that for the past ten years Zoom has logged most of his time with Flying Toasters." |

I thought his latest was the flying lawn mower, I hadn't heard about the flying toaster. Did he do a pop-up stall with it? |
