If I understand correctly your question. Yes it's possible. You just have to think to a lightning.

The air can conduct very huge amount of electricity but the losses would be enormous. So I don't think you will ever see an application for that.
1) Lightning is static electricity, not current electricity. Big difference.
2) Ever seen ionized air
3) Won't ever see an application for it? HAven't you ever used a radio / tv / cell phone etc. They transmit throughthe same air... aaaaaaaaaaand

there is something I forgot to mention ... Electricity always take the shortest (in electric resistance)... So if you go through such a "beam" of electricity you would be electrocuted ... not for sure, but most likely...

Wires are kind of useful with electricity ... Sorry guys
No need to apologise, you're wrong ;)
Obviously again you fail to consider that there is millions of watts in transmissions all around you, 24/7.
You're not dead yet, and I don't see you having to duck under FM radio tranmissions.
