Chris's
new engine is ready to go! His passenger is ready, too.
Each pilot always
flies with a "Robo-crane" puppet to hand out treats after
the flight lands. Treats help
coax the birds into the pen at the new location. The
heavy puppet sits deep in the backpack. The top
flap of the backpack keeps
the
puppet from flying out during the windy ride.
