Plot

Experiment is set in a town, where the citizens were forced walk everywhere because public transportation was very poor for various eexcuses. To solve this situation, city officials decided to conduct an experiment: people were allowed to fly. Most citizens immediately grew wings and quickly moved to a new lifestyle, however, for some reason wings did not grow on many others. The wingless people decided to become flight supervisors and instructors, and invented strict rules and regulations for the flights. This had led to problems for flying people and their number started shrinking.
