What better way to start the new year than with a looney plane. Following up on my flying cars post, Flight's cutaway artist Joe Picarella points me towards the eBay auction under way of the sole remaining Sky Commuter - a roadable VTOL aircraft designed by Flight Innovations and dating from the 1980s. I can't find much reliable information on the project, but the Q&A on the seller's site suggests the prototypes crashed and the survivor is a show mockup. I think I'll hold on to my money...
