Double-click the 45 to hear my interview with Vernon Porter and Clarence Kissell. (Pardon the abrupt start-- our esteemed producer cut off the first few minutes of the interview.
I was recently privileged to speak with Dr. Vernon Porter and Mr. Clarence Kissell, two gents from up the road in Murphy who are building a flying car. Dr. Porter is a retired TI scientist and Mr. Kissell is a materials expert. Their vehicle is dubbed the GT Flyer and is powered by A 232-horsepower Mazda RX-8 sports coupe rotary engine. They hope to have a buildable prototype in five years. I wrangled an invitation to the first test flight.

Happy Birth Day Dear Victoria Rose!!!
