Plane Crazy, Part 1: The Challenge (1998x5)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Eki 28, 1998

An ill-fated attempt to build an airplane in 30 days. Cringely is full of enthusiasm, visiting air shows and meeting fellow plane-builders. Others are more realistic. His engineer says, "It's out of my sphere of comprehension." His girlfriend comments, "I home he has good insurance." Plane-builder and journalist Peter Garrison sums it up, "Except that you appear sane... I would just assume that you were a nut." And these people are on his side. Cringely quickly grasps the enormity of the task, "End of day three-I think we're now five days behind schedule."
