Title: 100 years of Flight
Post by: Carbon_Angus on December 12, 2003, 05:05:56 am

It all started in an LBS......

Anyone who has ever stood in the lobby of the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum...and looked up and around...many "Firsts in Flight" to see.

here's a nifty, easy article to read....grownups like it too.

 Wind in your face, lots of speed, cycling's just this side of flying!   Isn't that what drew most of as kids (and a couple of brothers Wright)?
