Grump, yeah, I fess up, they weren't attempting flight, simply not bothering to.

Alas, children often attempt flight - it takes a few goes before they realise that the can't...

Meet Rob, the SAS dog. The illustrious Special Air Service attempted to make him fly behind enemy lines during the last war. Unfortunately, the dog suffered from colly-wobbles and didn't make it past the first flight. So our glorious leaders made up propaganda about him anyway.

That's awesome.:lol:

Here is what appears to be a believer in simplicity and elegance in solutions to complex engineering problems.

Sory Webby, these two entries are not accepted: the first is flight, the second is just a little fight, no flight attempt at all.:evil:
