Possibly The Closest Way To Go To Pandora.

[allroock123]

There have already been groups that have created digital virtual environments that mirror "Pandora" some are quite detailed and can be explored online
Pandora magic in second life comes to mind as one such example that lets one
virtually walk in Na'vi Shoes.

and yes Oculus Rift could make such an environment even more immersive, "But"
in my experience with Oculus rift I found even the slightest delay in headtracking
would give me bad motion sickness inside of 15 mins that made the experience no fun at all, if all those issues cant be resolved others will likely have the same issues .
as far as Quadrotor Rc aircraft goes there is a huge revolution in what is called FPV or first person view flight with some astounding content , What would be interesting
would be an Advanced RC aircraft like "Smart Bird" with Stereoscopic vision
and combined with Thought guided control "yes this is already possible with the Emotive
Headset.
Smart bird is a highly advanced bio-mimic aircraft that Mirrors how a real bird flys.

There are Rc flight capable Ikrans as well.

All of Avatars Flying creatures can from a aerodynamic and physics perspective "truly accully fly"
But more importantly always remember Avatar is a Mirror story, with many as aspects "reflected"
from earths real world peoples, cultures . and Environments, running under a unique fantasy shell.
"Many aspects of the film "feel familiar" because there source comes from something very tangible right here
on earth. "Reflected in Blue"
