Gyrocopter.
 
These amazing machines are often maligned as being flimsy and dangerous. However, they are anything but. Safety records show them to be among the safest forms of air-travel available, not to mention very cheap to run. Photo details: Canon 40D, ISO 200, 1/1000th second exposure with a Canon EF 70-200mm IS USM lens @ f-7.1.
