Master 2 - Tape 2 WS A couple of boys help their father put on his frame/cardboard wings. In a field, on a hill. He oversees, then starts to flap. The boys run. The father comes down the hill, chased by a little dog. Eventually, after trying to take flight, he goes down a little hill and crashes, the wings flying off. WS as he crashes - he looks dejectedly at the camera. A more successful stunt flight: man smiles at the camera, sits in makeshift cockpit. It's a man-powered glider, with a bicycle wheel in front, he takes off, stays up. Another plane does a somersault/loop-the-loop. Groups of people look up to the sky. Nice crowd. Spectator shots.
