Optimally: an artificial superintelligence aligned with human values.

Secondary: rewilding of Earth. This might require a mass population reduction, however, so move about 6 billion humans to an Earthlike planet. Or split it up. A billion humans on 8 different ideal worlds.

Save on gas and vehicle maintenance expenses. Wise man
Depends. How fast can you fly? If it's about the same speed as your sprinting (and as strenuous), then I doubt it's very practical. Cool, though!

Still quicker as I could more or less go in a single direction which would save on time. Also, flying is inherently awesome. Even if I'm going the same speed as when I spring or just walk, it's still cool. I've never had a flying dream I didn't love.
The biggest truths aren't original. The truth is ketchup. It's Jim Belushi. Its job isn't to blow our minds. It's to be within reach.

Real hard to choose what I'd want in terms of unselfish wish. There are so many things.

He lives in magical balls all year round and is only let out for a moment just to grant some peckerhead's selfish desire. Shenron could probably do a lot more for the world or even the universe if he wasn't trapped in a singular purpose for all eternity.
I dunno, that'd potentially be one very pissed off dragon. Not sure I'd wanna know what kind of revenge he'd extract for all that time in confinement granting the wishes of said peckerheads.

"To think of fighting that is this fun...so, it was pleasant fight, as many as, therefore is a feeling which is good the fight where."

Flying would be my first wish, if it wasn't for the fact that it would totally mess up my hair. That's why I prefer to ask for the ability to teleport. I would shunkanido myself everywhere, to the kitchen, to the bathroom, downtown.

I wish that every time the Dragon Balls re-activate, they are teleported to me.

I can wait a year to make my first wish.
