Awesome!

There is nothing about the Smithsonian that is not cool!

I wish I lived closer. That is a vacation place for me in the future!

Take the metro, a lot cheaper than parking.

They signed a blackmail agreement with the Wright family to say that they wouldn't mention the several powered flights BEFORE the Wright brothers flew their crappy plane. That is disturbing and an insult to history and the people who trust the Smithsonian.

As I was then...would you happen to have some good links to that? Not that I don't believe you...but, I would just like to read them. I had never heard about that. I would like to know who leaked it.

:-"

 

[Grunt]

That is truly saddening...both on the part of the Smithsonian and on the part played by Orville. Those that are true "flight enthusiasts" ought to push that issue to have things changed.

If we can make a planet a "non-planet"...we can change who flew the first successful flight.

But, that's another issue.:-"

Fucking Americans always trying to steal the limelight. GO NZ!





Er... wait.

I think there's some doubt around Pearce. Which is a shame for my national pride hahaha.

IIRC there's a few people who could have possibly flown before the Wright's as well but again, harder to prove.

Anyone going? Seriously thinking about it if we don't get snowed in again.

I might be in for that actually.

I could make it down next weekend if it doesn't snow.

 

[Dame]

Wish I could. Love that place.

 

[AWP]

If you go and I don't have a picture of you in front of Flak Bait or the -229, don't return to this site. Some other corner of the Net will embrace you because you're dead here.

Yeah, that's the thing. I know we're getting something Thursday into Friday, but how much is debatable.

 

[racing_kitty]

I wish I was able to come up, but there's too much going on here.
