Dutchy 0 Posted December 17, 2003 It is December 17th, the day that the Wright brothers did really fly an airplane with engine (balloons, blimps and gliders did already flew). What shall they think if they can see all those planes what now is flying or did flew? Salute and hooray for the Wright brothers!!! Dutchy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadJeff 3 Posted December 18, 2003 Did anyone see the Discovery special last night on the recreated flight? Looks like they didn't have too good of luck yesterday and had to postpone due to weather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PG_Raptor 0 Posted December 18, 2003 I didn't see that show, but I did see the one following it. It was a documentary on the Wrights process of making the plane, and all the history with it. good show :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
