US Army Lt. Thomas E. Selfridge, who died was killed while flying on a demonstration flight with Orville Wright in 1908.
Note: Selfridge Air National Guard base in Michigan near where I grew up, formerly an Air Force base and earlier simply Selfridge Field.
“ “You know, you’re actually in more danger driving from home to the airport than you are flying”

I’m fine once I’m in the seat of the plane
