From the first manned flight in 1903 to space in 1961 and a moon walk in 1969. Amazing!

I think the airlines should play this song before every flight instead of going thru that old boring spiel about safety belts, escape hatches and life preservers. Heck, they could even encourage sing alongs. :D

If you are ever in upstate NY, finger lales region, you must visit the Glen Curtiss Museum............From a manned , motorcycle engined powered, flying "kite" to a 27,000 pound flying boat in under 10 years! Now that right there gets my attention!

 

 

 

And you can buy a T-shirt that says..............."And The Wright Bros were the first to do what?".............Seems the Curtiss folks claim he flew well before the Wright Bros.
