Today marks the 107th anniversary of the original home-builders' first successful attempt at an equal number of takeoffs and landings: History reportedly (plus or minus 3 Harris Poll percentage points) records that they were successful. Gauging from the sheer scale of happy, active, interactive, mutually-supportive participation on this wonderfully thought-out website, (thank you Desert Fox 4!) I'd say "The Boys" who first defined "The Wright Stuff" succeeded beyond even THEIR widest dreams. If you were unable to do so today, try to put some air under your seat-cushion inhaler this weekend...and spare a moment of cross-check time while you do, to think a kind thought of the talented brothers who paved the way for the rest of us. But never forget; at the end of that momentous day, 107 years go, "The Boys" machine was a pile of junk! Take THAT lesson for everything it's worth and try NOT to repeat it!!
