books.

VO-NAT
SUPER=03-Van Nuys, CA;
They want to become the first people to fly a rubber band airplane.
The Rubber Bandit, as it is known, will be powered by a 90 pound- three and
a half mile long elastic band.
Twelve people have spent the last two and a half years preparing the plane.
They hope the Bandit will carry a pilot a hundred feet for 60 seconds.
They'll have to use a tractor to wind it up.
The pilot says he wants to fly the plane because no one has ever done it
before.
