A group of rural townspeople gather on a farm field, eagerly observing amateur pilot Dale Rounds (Brent Crawford) as he prepares his airplane, Red Betsy, for its inaugural flight. Dale built Red Betsy with the help of his father, Emmet (Leo Burmester) from spare automotive parts. As the community watches with growing excitement and skepticism, Dale and Emmet are determined to show that their contraption can really fly.Waiting expectantly in the sidelines are Dale's girlfriend Winifred (Alison Elliott), and mother Helen (Lois Smith). After a few false starts, the airplane barrels down the makeshift runway and glides effortlessly into the air, clearing the treetops. The crowd erupts into enthusiastic cheers and applause. That evening, Dale and Winifred discuss their plans of getting married and moving to the state capitol in Madison.Winifred believes that Emmet doesn't like her.

Dale assures Winifred that his father likes her, however he realizes that Emmet will have a problem with them moving away.________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 24 Feb 2010 13:36:44 -0800 (PST)
