Jin Shaozhi, a 71-year-old retired doctor in Jinyun county in East China's Zhejiang province, is shown at the controls of one of his self-made aircrafts, Sept 11, 2014. In eight years, he has created a fixed-wing aircraft and a rotorcraft that can fly at a height of 1,000 meters. Jin has built model airplanes since he was a teenager and, in 2006, he received some flight training. In 2010, he bought a mini-plane and decided to build his own flying machines. [Photo/IC]
