So, I was out doing some field tests of a new inflight video transmission system in an electric model aircraft, when my airspace was invaded! Not a view you'd normally see of one of these things.

That's pretty cool - the video system and that pic. You now need a tiny 500W speaker attached so you can say "You are violating the airspace of the Principality of Patrick - leave immeditately or prepare to be lasered!"

That's pretty cool. My buddy is an avid Hot Air Ballooner. He makes and tie-dyes his own balloons. His friend is a paraglider. Check out how they combine their sports:

Step 2: The Release!



Well, step 2 wasn't actually the release, but you get the idea. He didn't have a good picture of it.

I dunno, looks kind of like the other way around.

Cool picture, Patrick. You know, you're going to have to top last year's Amersfoort RC-car demonstration... Is there someplace near the venue this year that would be appropriate for aviation?

SShhhuuuusshhhh! Patrick, for goodness' sakes, don't tell them about this! It was meant to be Top Secret for the Amersfoort event! Now they'll ALL know what to expect!

I read that Air Force One fires rockets to deflect heat seeking missiles from picking up the heat from its jets, maybe something along the same lines to neutralise those that dare to invade Patrick's airspace!
