Attention everyone.

On CBS Evening News with Dan Rather, there was a 'trailer' tonight
announcing that on the CBS Evening News tomorrow (Thursday Night)
there would be section on the Wright's and their airplane(s).

I plan on watching and seeing what they put on.

Probably something akin to this - this report is from one of our flying club
members today:

Under the category of it's better to be lucky than smart! I saw the Wright
Flyer make its first successful flight today!!!!!!!!!! It flew 128 feet as
compared to the original first flight of 120 feet. Everyone involved was
extremely excited in spite of the fact that they broke two or three bottom
wing spars on the left wing. They were already repairing them before we
left.

How, you might ask, could someone as dumb as me be so lucky? A friend of
mine asked me at church Sunday if I would like to fly to First Flight this
week and see what we could see. My friend is Fred Mistr that owns a C206
(N5072U hangered in D12 at FCI). He called me at work at 9:45 and asked if
I could get away from work. We took off from FCI at Noon and flew the 206
to First Flight. We walked to the exhibit area in the shadows of the
monument when Fred said THERE IS THE WRIGHT FLYER. They were carrying it
from the hanger to the flight rail that it is launched from. We asked what
was going on and we were told that they would be making a test flight any
minute.

With a "crowd" of about 10-15 other dumb lucky people and 4 or 5
photographers and cameramen we watched as the engine was started, it raced
down the rail with a person at each wing and rose to (in my estimation) the
dizzying height of about 4 feet, came down into the sand and did a bit of a
ground loop (hence the broken wing ribs) and history was successfully
re-created!!

My penmanship does not do justice to the event but I hope each of you will
share some of my excitement at the event and will know for certain that this
entire project, after today, is successful!
