The Icon Air A5 is your personal plane.  It can land on air or water, the wings fold up, so you can actually use it on a trailer hitch store it in your driveway.  The team at Icon is top notch with many coming from Stanford Business School and the same engineering and design folks who came up with Virgin Galactic’s spaceship.  In fact the head of Ideo is on the Board of Directors of Icon.  Ideo is credited with some of the great designs including the iPod.  The A5 only requires a sport pilot’s license which can be obtained for about $3,000 here.  Of course, if you’re worried about safety – keep in mind that the A5 has it’s own parachute….for the entire plane.  Anything goes wrong just pull the interior latch and drift down to safety.  $139,000 BUY
