Guest ozzie Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 BTW, did we all forget Wilbur and Orville's anniversary of the big event yesterday?
turboplanner Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 You shouldn't feel so bad ozzie, poor old Wilbur and Orville couldn't GET registration.
robinsm Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Nobody remembers who came second. Did anyone remembers Pearces birthday, he came first.
Guest ozzie Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 second. some claim it was Alberto Santos-Dumont a Brazilian designer he committed the feat in France on 23 october 1906. Pearce was a New Zealander who probably missed out on being one of the first because everyone deemed him a nutter.
eightyknots Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 You shouldn't feel so bad ozzie, poor old Wilbur and Orville couldn't GET registration. Noone could stop them. AND, aircraft insurance did not exist. AND mid-air crashes were impossible,
