[AT] Old trains

[David Bruce]

At the risk of adding to the boredom -

During my time at dear old MOO U (mid to late 70's) I lived on central 
campus.  My freshman year a suitemate brought his RC plane out for a run 
one day.
We went to the intermural fields and he launched the plane.  Lost 
communication and the plane was last seen heading back toward the 
dorms.  We found the remains between Owen and Turlington.  It had flown 
directly into a metal light pole and was totally demolished. Later in 
the year he was making hot air balloons from dry cleaning bags with an 
aluminum pie plate suspended below to contain alcohol soaked cotton 
balls.  He would light the cotton balls and that provided the hot air.  
All was well and good until one of the balloons landed on the roof of 
the bookstore.  The Raleigh fire department responded.  Nothing bad 
happened - except to him.
