I grew up East of the PDX airport and just for yuks my buddies and I taped a new roll of aluminum foil to a stick of balsa wood and then hooked it up to some helium balloons.
Neatest thing you ever saw was over 300' of twisting shiny metal foil streaming up and away out of my back yard.
What we didn't expect was a serious investigation by the State Police and Multnomah County Sheriff in who the culprits were that shut down the airports radar while that tin foil loitered in the flight paths of the jet liners trying to land.
