Look up the Popular Flying Association fly-in. It used to take place ever year and features hundreds of homebuilt aircraft many of which were built in garages by kids and their fathers.

The E A A featured in this video is the Experimental Aircraft Association, the American equivalent of P F A.

It runs a fly-in at Oshkosh in Wisconsin every year and, the last year that I remember being at the P F A equivalent, Oshkosh had more aircraft on the ground than were registered in the UK.

Dear Sane,

Sounds a lot like Einstein to me.

Quote
A: For now, it's just focusing on getting my Ph.D. I want to eventually found and run an interdisciplinary laboratory. The way I see it is, biology relies upon chemistry, chemistry relies upon physics, and in some level when you can reduce things to simpler ideas, you have a lot more power to use them. It's good to have a bigger picture and see where you can actually go and not end up getting caught in some particular lab or a section of a company doing a particular task. In that regard, your contribution is limited to where you're at.

Reduce things to simpler ideas, nice to think that science is in such good hands.
