And now we can hop on a jet to Utah becuase of two bicycle mechanics.

Thanks Wilbur and Orvil.

My brother took some time off to go to the festivities... He's a flyer - just got his Seaplane certification.

I'm jealous.. He also got to go to the opening of the new Air And Space Museum Annex....

Exactly M@! We'll see which way my career swings it, either I'll be able to fly anywhere in the world for free, or I'll be getting free heli skiing rides. After a while, being a pilot will eventually show its' perks. For now, I have some more important things to focus on... like :mtwashington: and :tucks: and in the summer: :sandpit:

MIT honored the 100 year anniversity by assembling a large model biplane on top of the university dome. Pretty cool prank:
