My Brother Mike - The Pilot:

When I was a little kid, my brother Mike used to he wanted to become a pilot. He would go to our hometown library and check put books on how to fly, etc.  However, he decided to go to college and become a consultant instead (or something else where you get paid by the hour... but I digress...)

Nevertheless, three years ago my brother, Mike, got a model airplane.  If he was not going to become a pilot, then he may at least pretend to be one with a model airplane.

Now, it is important to understand that this was in fact three years ago.  My brother and I even attended a local pilot's club meeting where a whole bunch of guys got together and talked about their plane, flying techniques, and repairs.  I thought it was rather interesting, but my brother must have lost interest since we never went to another one.

The other day I asked my brother, "When are you going to fly the your model plane ?" 

He paused and said, "Well it's broken...."

I think my brother is the only person in the world who has managed to crash his model airplane before it even got off the ground.

Here are a few pictures of brand new model plane.   

It may be a little hard to control without a tail, don't you think ?

Imagine, Mike did this all by himself.
