Century of Flight...

100 years ago almost to the minute. Sadly, the weather at Kitty Hawk today is rainy and cold. I don't think that the Ford replical of the Wright Flyer is going to go up today.

*sigh* I really wanted to see it fly too...

Still, it is pretty amazing that a couple of guys in a bicycle shop ushered in the age of aviation. I think they'd be amazed at the things we can do now.

Oh well...

I'd not realised until I saw the Google banner for the day, which is pretty nifty. Hope the weather improves so they can fly the thing.. and yes it is amazing, and when you think of the size of airliners etc today compared to the origins!
