Air Show Buzz has released the first full episode of their new cartoon, Mike Da Mustang. It's about a group of animated aircraft and friends and does a great job showing how much fun flying can be. It has some other morals in there too...kids might pick them up while enjoying Mike's antics.

DARPA Kick-Starts Flying Car Program from Slashdot
coondoggie writes to share that DARPA is finally trying to make good on the promise of flying cars for our future with the new "Transformer" (TX) project. "DARPA said the vehicle will need to be able to drive on prepared surface and light off-road conditions, as well as support Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL) features. The TX will also support range and speed efficiencies that will allow for missions to be performed on a single tank of fuel. DARPA said the TX will 'provide the flexibility to adapt to traditional and asymmetric threats by providing the operator unimpeded movement over difficult terrain. In addition, transportation is no longer restricted to trafficable terrain that tends to makes movement predictable.'"
