Fly zone!

There's a man in a flying machine around these parts!


His contraption appears to be built of a giant fan -- like on the airboats you see cutting through the Everglades; a seat; and a parachute. He can adjust his altitude quickly and easily, and I can't see close enough, but would like to think he's wearing an old pilot's cap, like Snoopy when he flies his doghouse.
The man in his flying machine appears overhead every once in a while. You can hear the buzz of his motor from inside the house, and we all excitedly rush outside, squinting up at the sky to watch him whirring around! And then he slowly disappears, heading out over the water and becoming a tiny speck on the horizon...going wherever he goes...until next time.

UH-OH!
This is going to give Mr. H some much needed inspiration for his little flying project!!!

isa, you all need to read Astrid Lindgren's Karlsson on the Roof books! Unfortunately they seem out of print, and thus insanely expensive on Amazon and ebay. maybe the library has them?
