Canadians can't drive, Afghans say
There is a new hazard on Kabul's already dangerously chaotic roads; the Canadian army and its massive armoured vehicles have been getting into accidents at a rate that is alarming the otherwise fearless drivers of the Afghan capital.

Model airplane crosses the pond

	Maynard Hill says one of his model planes has become the first to make a trans-Atlantic flight. If the principal keeper of international model-airplane records, the Federation Aeronautique Internationale, recognizes Hill's claim, his model will have set standards for time aloft and for nonstop linear distance — 1,888 miles.

WASHINGTON — An 11-pound airplane crossed the Atlantic last weekend and flew into history. It carried no passengers and no cargo — except for the 20-year-old dream of a retired engineer from Silver Spring, Md.

The model airplane's flight started Saturday night at Cape Spear, Newfoundland, a few miles from where Amelia Earhart launched her historic flight in 1932, becoming the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Thirty-eight hours, 23 minutes after the model — dubbed Spirit of Butts Farm — took off, it touched down in Ireland, completing a quest that consumed Maynard Hill for at least two decades.
