Hi Joe,

That's pretty cool!! I went to their website (http://www.wainfan.com/jyw.htm) and poste a few more pictures:

It wasn't a spectacular flight by today's standards (they might need work on their "safe splat" technology), but they did, in fact, fly!!

Every human at every point in history has an opportunity to choose courage over cowardice. Look around and you will find that opportunity in your own time.
