What's that? It's not supposed to be here.
It sure is noisy! Get it out of here!!!
No radio?? Then shoot it down!
|

First Shot! **
Hit the front wheel....
(After a boom and puff of smoke on the
aircraft, the front wheel falls off)
|
|
|
Second Shot! **
Hit the rear wheels....
(After a boom and puff of smoke on the
aircraft, the rear wheels fall off)
|
|
|
Third Shot! **
Hit the tail....
(After a boom and puff of smoke on the
aircraft, the tail detaches and flutters down)
|
|
|
Fourth Shot! ** Must have hit the engine!!!
The engine smokes and sputters,
sputters and smokes, then
.....SILENCE.....
No engine, no tail, no
wheels....What's going to happen?
|
|
|
Then to the surprise,
delight, and
relief of
the spectators, a glide to a gentle foot landing....
Just like in the not so good "Good ol' Days" of ultralight aviation.
