Re: WRIGHT BROTHERS DAY
And THANK YOU CHAS TAYLOR! 
" always wanted to learn to fly, but I never did. The Wrights refused to teach me and tried to discourage the idea. They said they needed me in the shop and to service their machines, and if I learned to fly, I'd be gadding about the country and maybe become an exhibition pilot, and then they'd never see me again."

And John Moisant, who spoke the immortal words: “Nine-tenths confidence and one-tenth common sense equals [a] successful aviator.”
