I just may never leave my house again. There are objects flying all over the place. A few days ago, I wrote about flying automobiles, yesterday I covered flying bicycles, and today I have discovered that the aircraft industry has given birth to a Zipcar-style service for renting small airplanes.

OpenAirplane is an online company that makes renting an aircraft much easier. OpenAirplane has small airplanes for rent at airports in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Jose, Kissimmee, and Detroit. Many more are being added all over the United States.

This is how it works. You become a member of OpenAirplane and then take a standardized flight exam so you will be granted the ability to rent an airplane quickly.

It’s as simple as that. If you are granted to be an OpenAirplane pilot, you can then book an airplane online, even using a new mobile app. This is getting too easy. You don’t have to stop at the rental office. The keys are inside the craft.
