I used to watch a guy on YouTube who is a paramotor hobbyist. A Paramotor is a motorized backpack unit with a propeller used to fly a paraglider wing.
He'd routinely fly his rig over to Chick-fil-A and other restaurants to buy food, if the place was close to a field where he could land. It was a lot of fun to watch.

When I had my other farm, we had a neighbor that was into that and he used our very long road through the Back Forty to take off and land. Very fun.
We also had a large Hot Air Balloon land there; it had mechanical troubles, but they were able to fix it quickly once their crew showed up and off they went.
