I have to admit that they really did a very good job for just messing around.
My Son received a model rocket kit for his birthday one year.
We put it together and took it out on the edge of town to fire it off.
There was a fellow out there flying an rc airplane.
We thought, “It’s a big sky....no problem.”
We set the rocket up and did the countdown. My Son had the launch device.
We got down to “two” when I noticed that the rc plane was right over the top of us.
My Son fired the rocket.
It missed that rc plane by a couple of inches.
The guy controlling the plane started yelling and shaking his fist at us.
I yelled back that he had violated our airspace and we had another rocket and would shoot down his Yankee imperialist U-2 if he flew it near us again.
He packed up and left.
My Son wanted to paint a plane silhouette on the side of the pickup but I told him that near hits didn’t count.
Ha! That is funny!
Lost in Space, what a great show!
