Is there any way they can make him a gay black man so they can claim even more changes to history and their tolerance and acceptance?
I wish someone would wipe Connecticut from history too.
True dat.
So, Connecticut is calling Wilbur and Orville the Wrong Brothers.
30 HP from calcium carbide engine and 25 lb plane. Bull squeeze. Never freaking happened. Couldn’t do it today either. A freaking parasail weighs more than that.
They were Christians and their inspiration for flight came from a passage in the Bible .
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Sure, the systematic destruction of American history is no big deal, especially since we can trust our government to tell us the “real story” that contradicts court decisions a hundred years ago.

This is all part of a plan to literally rewrite American history. Hussein made it into textbooks before inaugurated. We trashed Pluto so those textbooks could be re-written, and now we flush Wilbur and Orville to re-write THOSE textbooks. All the while, we look to NASA to tell us who the real muslim scientist heroes were.
No a muslim so they can claim at least one beneficial achievement for mankind (like every keeps claiming they have done).
Would never fly.
Show the proof that he did fly before the Wright Bros. and I’ll buy it. If not, this move means nothing.
He was a hoaxer.
I think his story exemplies the professional hazards of being a lone inventor. No one to do PR, no one to really press his case because he was a nobody, so we see the result.
Yep. I think you are correct. My biggest problem is that history needs to be less on the fluid side. That is, barring new compelling evidence, what we know is what we “know”. There is no point in changing the history books on this one that I can see.
If you do something major, get it documented or you may not get noticed...
I think the Wrights had the first powered and CONTROLLED flight. I’ve heard of a couple of others prior to theirs powered, but not controlled.
Oh, I see. He had to flap his arms to fly.
“I just flew in from Cleveland. Gee, are my arms tired.” bada bing
New claims French pair died after landing plane in U.S.
Remains of white aircraft found off New York coast ,how about this
To tell you the truth.. I don’t really care. The fact that a rabid liberal government of Conn. chooses this time to rewrite, revise or amend history is suspicious, and frankly I could give a sh!t what a bunch of liberals say.
Maybe the Wrights were Republicans to boot.NC must have been quite conservative in those days. I enjoyed visiting Kitty Hawk. You can still see the hill the Wrights used to take off.
French pilots, Francois Coli, left, and Charles Nungesser, in the plane they attempted to fly from Paris to New York. The flight took off just 12 days before Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic solo flight made the record books. Bernard Decre, who is currently searching for the wreckage, believes the disappearance was a cover-up so not to distract from Lindbergh's achievement
