Sure, mostly as a kid. It was great fun. Last time was about twenty years ago. Flew it in a park, got it so high that when it started to come down, I thought it was going to land in traffic. Not a nice feeling. Best place to fly them is in a farmer's field in my opinion. I like to think of our southern neighbours as just Americans - full stop. Anyone who is trying to separate you into groups is probably trying to create division to weaken you. Stop motion. Here's a video of some clips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f49dvslQcKk I just did and oh boy. I can usually put up cheese but this was like some Cheez Whiz that had been sitting in the sun too long. The best part, if true, is that the captain's character had to have his voice dubbed because his Canadian accent was too strong. I've seen it twice within the last month and I thought it was pleasant - a perfect Saturday afternoon movie. It's worth it for the scenery if you like ancient Egypt. What I find interesting is that the movie came out the same year as Raiders of the Lost Ark (Sphinx in February and Raiders in June) and almost everyone remembers or knows Raiders but very few know or remember this movie - that's how life works I guess.
