Take to the air! We all know that cooler air is right around the corner. So take advantage of these lovely days and get outside as much as possible. Make some history by testing out those human-powered aircraft. We can fly human-powered because of the summer breezes. Flying a kite is always a good back plan in the case you don't have a human-powered plane.
