Feb. 14--Forrest Waller has been flying model airplanes since he was a kid. But at 34 he took his first step into the cockpit of a real aircraft -- this time as a pilot.

He bought a World War I S.E. 5 British fighter, a single-seat biplane known for being easy to fly and highly maneuverable.

But he didn't have it for long.

Soon after taking off one day, his engine stalled.

"I was falling to the ground like a lawn dart," Waller recalled.

His plane crashed. Miraculously, he walked away unscathed, but shaken. He now prefers to fly with his feet on the ground.
