  • Summary

  • It's a bird? It's a plane? Its a guy pretending to be a bird?? We have a very odd aircraft in the collection. It's an ultralight. Small, highly maneuverable and based off the wings hang gliders use to jump off mountains, this particular ultralight was used to help birds migrate. And it starred in the movie in the '90s! When we heard that we were like, say more please.

    Thanks to our guest in this episode:

    • Russ Lee - curator and chair of the Aeronautic Department, National Air and Space Museum
