Flying grunts are an idea that comes not just from GO, but also from 
Battlesuit, Starship Troopers, and simple logic.  Once you accept that a 
500lb battlesuit can fly, I see no reason why its top speed is limited 
to 40mph.  Terminal velocity is probably in excess of 200mph even 
spreadeagled.

It takes so much thrust to get off the ground, it seems the tad more to 
actually fly somewhere is trivial in comparison.
