For those who'd like to give, even a buck or two, to a fund to save Agustin's art, check out the fund here. |

I love how that ignorant priest can't see the power of the supernatural in anything other than his own God. What an amazingly closed-minded man. And he's supposed to be the shepherd of souls there. What a shame. |

That almost brought me to tears. On the one hand, I don't want him to try it, not when it's highly unlikely to work and when he's reached this stage in his life. On the other hand I would love to, I don't know, "accidentally" throw away a functioning engine and gas and stuff, so he can find it and (possibly with some assistance, but under his directive) haul it to his shed and mount it to it and make that goddamn thing fly!
If it got me close to sobbing just to see his stubbornness and hopefulness, I'd most certainly break down completely if I saw him try it, whether it works or not. However, I can not imagine the level of... joy? happiness? completeness? he'd get from experiencing it working. |

If you can find him, I'd like to buy him a tour flight in a real helicopter. |

Don Quixote had his windmills. Agustin has his helicopter. Seems they're both out to fight evil, life's trials, and reach an end with dignity. Happy flights, Agustin. You're probably far more sane than I.
P.S. Several short articles on the topic if you google "agustin's helicopter honduras" |

I guess my standards are too high. I actually expected to see something that would be capable of flying. |

@fancythat
Your picture has a typo, dude. It says "YOUR" where it obviously should say "MY". Please fix that. |

Keep promoting socialism - we'll all have the same level of wealth, just like him. BTW, *sweet* light bulb. |

Link: Everything Is Incredible: The Story Of Agustin [Rate Link] - The story of an old man trying to make a helicopter from scrap. Highly recommended. |
