I thought they weren't going to make an attempt until 2:00?

Maybe they forgot the propeller. At least Dean has his, on top of his Deenie beanie...

Well, we can't launch men to the moon anymore, either. Some days the Isuzu won't start. Some days even the tires won't hold air.

Looks like the skid hit water on the rail which must have slowed it some.

And to think, on Junkyard Wars they built a flyer in less than 24 hours and it flew.

The Wright Brothers waited weeks for the correct conditions for their flight.

Unfortunately, the re-enactment was selected for a historic DATE.
