The Man Who Wanted to Fly&nbsp; Age is no deterrent to the fulfillment of one man's lifelong dream in this surprising and heartwarming documentary that has become a popular hit in Ireland. Eighty-something bachelor Bobby and Ernie Coote share a home on their 150-year-old family farm near Bailieborough in County Cavan. Introvert Ernie is content to explore the world from the safety of his CB radio, but adventerous Bobby, a musician, a violin-maker, and repairer of antique clocks, aches to soar the skies as the pilot of his own plane.
