(for safety reasons)
Anyway I think it got like 3ft off the ground before it exploded. | They actually made hovercraft out of them....

Country: | Well if you saw them in Michigan and North Dakota, I would say yes. They're coffee shops, not really restaurants. You can get soup and sandwich specials for lunch, but for the most part it's just coffee, donuts, and "Timbits".
The best damn coffee on the planet, I might add.
I love the stuff. | |

That is where I did my training on the Blackhawk and they have one of these hovering saucer things. It was a failure as you said.
