Heck with the dog fights

Imagine a very, very fuel efficient version of one of these (with solar panels?) that one could pilot by satellite to far-off regions of the globe. If you get bored one night, throw your flying bug out the window. Watch the water rush beneath it for a while on your computer monitor. When you wake up in the morning, tune in for it's arrival in London or Paris or the African savannah. Travel vicariously like you never have before.

Now that's a geek toy.
