Well folks,

So goes it for the Wright Experience boys. A whole lot of sponsor money spent.
An exclusive contract and a great gig. Fame, fortune and all that goes with
it. But in the end, none of it mattered. That good 'ole 1903 did 'em in after
two attempts, which proves two things. First, the Wrights were WAY more
tallented and skilled than anyone realizes. Second, its all about the wind and
sand... or lack thereof.

Fun stuff. I'm looking forward to getting beat to shreds by my 1902 glider one
of these days.
