Did You Hear About The Times I Flew An Airplane Off A Cliff?

Archie Brown attended a campout every spring at a campground in the Hill Country of Texas. One of the distinctive features of the campsite is a cliff that overlooks the camp facilities. The top of the cliff is a favorite destination of campers, because the view is so spectacular.

One of the little things Archie liked to do was take fly a plane off that cliff. The first time he tried it, he just made a paper airplane and launched it from the edge of the cliff. Over subsequent years Archie took balsa wood gliders, Styrofoam gliders and plastic gliders of various sizes.

No great records were set, but Archie enjoyed himself!
