I love flying, and would love to fly on my own. Short of that, my cousin and I learned to fly remote control airplanes many years ago. My goal was to be able to take aerial photos, but that turned out to be a bit out of my price range at the time as my flight budget ran out really fast. However, I read about this fellow who attached his digital camera to a kite. The story would qualify as a tragedy. If you want to read about it too click this.
