I was born & raised in Dayton, OH - not far from the Wright Bros bike shop.

Their actual first flight, albeit very short, was in an open field in the Huffman Hills area of Dayton.

I visited the Wright Bros. memorial in KDH in the summer of 2003. I was impressed with the place.

Have you noticed that “progressives” instinctively oppose all innovation? Uber, Fracking, Bitcoin, etc., etc.

The Wright Brothers would’ve stayed in the bike shop today.

Higher institutions of learning presently frown upon and prohibit the term “brothers” as being a negative term.
Please use “ sexually similar siblings” in its place. Thank you.

Thus let`s celebrate “Sexually Similar Wright Siblings Day” -[sarc]

When's Gustave Whitehead Day? 😀 I'm not sure if he flew in 1901, but he needs to be remembered.

Gustave Whitehead and Otto Lilienthal were flying prior to the Wright Brothers.

Otto was gliding in the 1850’s and Gustave had a powered flight in August of 1901.

The Smithsonian refuses to look into the matter because it does not own the Wright Flyer - it’s on loan from a British museum under the condition that if another pilot/plane was prover to have flown prior the the Wright Bros. the aircraft must be returned.
