 this wonderful watermelon! It is so easy and will amaze
 your guests.

 Referring to the picture at:
 http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Artie-The-Airplane
 will be useful if you are not artistic/imaginative
 enough to visualise making a watermelon into an
 aeroplane.

 If necessary, cut a thin slice from bottom of watermelon
 so it sits level.

 Using a sharp paring knife, trace outlines of tail
 pieces, propeller and wings on the melon.

 Cut & carefully remove sections A, B and C.

 Remove fruit from sections, leaving 1/8" of fruit
 on the rind; set fruit aside. Set sections B and C
 aside for back wings. from section A, cut propeller,
 two side wings and two tail pieces; set aside.

 Carefully remove fruit from the melon to form a shell.
 Cut all fruit into cubes or balls. Set aside. Trim wings
 and tail pieces to fit smoothly against the melon.

 Attach wings and tail with skewers; trim skewers if
 necessary. Attach propeller with a toothpick; insert
 grape on end of toothpick. Place one halved kiwifruit
 next to airplane on either side for wheels. Fill with
 reserved watermelon cubes, a salad or dessert.
