100 Years
It's now been 100 years since the Wright Brothers made their first flight on the Outer Banks at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. In the time since those first flights we have progressed to supersonic flight and airplanes that can carry up to 500 people. Not bad for a first century.
A couple of articles about the day:
Celebrations Mark 100th Anniversary of Wright Brothers' First Flight
Wright brothers unleashed world-altering force
The Mixed Blessing of Wright Brothers' Milestone - Reuters can't avoid their negativity even on such a momentous occasion. Gees.
