A dream crashes to earth

Last week, I saw a video of what appeared to be a guy living out the fantasy of every aviation dork: he strapped on wings, started flapping, and took off. I was ready to post, in glowing terms, about what that meant to this particular aviation dork.

But then I learned another bit of information: the whole thing was staged.

Bummer. Because as you can see above, the (CGI) stunt looked pretty awesome. Oh, well. It's only a matter of time, right? Until then, a guy can dream.
