Kite had three meanings

The word 'Kite' had more than one meaning and used to be the slang word for aeroplane but this came to me by email and, although a bit long, has a very skilfull ending - but to see it you have to watch until the very end.

You will love this! Be sure to watch in full screen.
The guy flying the 3 kites is in his 80s, and he's from Canada. He comes to the Washington State International Kite Festival every year. His skin is like leather, as he normally flies with his shirt off. He is deaf; when he flies, we hold our hands up and wave them for applause. He flies 2 with his hands, and the 3rd one is attached to his waist. Enjoy!
You must watch to the end to see the amazing landing of that last kite! I would have those kites so tangled up that one could never get them separated again! The music nicely reflects the soaring of the kites.

Oh Pish, "video blocked in your country". Hilarious considering he's Canadian and I'm in Canadia.
