The REAL question is:

Is it justifiable homicide if I kill the the dude that brought this back to life?

If you cover a plane with magic flying dust but fill it with fat people, will it take off?

And if the plane is anchored to the ground, and the treadmill isn't moving at all, but there's a 100 mph headwind, will the plane take off?
Reminds me of when I was a little kid, maybe 7 or 8 and on windy days my dad would let us sit alone in the sailplane, turn the nose into the wind and lift the wings until they were even. The game was to see who could keep the wings off of the ground using the ailerons.

Now that I think about it this also brings back the memory back in the mid 90's when we flew into Oskosh. On the second night a huge thunderstorm came and the guy parked in the row next to us (upwind) had not properly secured his old Cessna 190. It managed to do a flip *over* our tent and landed upside down in the following isle where thankfully no people or other airplanes were. The scary part is I never heard this happen and only realized upon exiting the tent after the storm.
