A challenge for us birdmen.

[Erik Johansson]

As we all know the English are a bit eccentric. But I feel that those who are unconventional also have a lot of fun. I do. I may be wrong, but as I do not think there are piers in Sweden suitable for these kinds of exercises. Perhaps Tranebergsbron could offer an alternative. And now I hear those who do not live in Stockholm cry ‘Why should everything happen in Stockholm?’

Says Erik, who has to bugger off now to catch his flight. And I will try to be attentive, God help me, when I get that ‘Ladies and Gentlemen, your life jackets are stored … and in the unlikely event that the cabin pressure is lost….’ This is when I think of the likely event of my luggage getting lost and I loose my concentration.

I Japan har man tagit flygandet med muskelkraft på stort allvar. Nu hittar jag inte de scener jag sett tidigare med många krascher (det är ju roligt att se...) men följande videofilm bjuder på dramatik. På många olika sätt är http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 4506519616 tänkvärd.

I OS 1912 i Stockholm var det en japansk maratonlöpare som "försvann". "Japanen som försvann" kan vara en lämplig titel även för denna video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YA_CEreqAeQ
