Wright Flyer

Absolutely, especially after this year. Poor Ken Hyde! His replica
just crashed.

Douglas DC-3 opened air travel for many

There's one parked on the grass at Hampton Airport. It's my
grand-daughter's favorite plane.

Boeing B-52 seems like it'll fly forever

Right! It'll live in history forever in an entirely new way.

Piper Cub opened general aviation for many

And continues to do so. All students at Hampton Airport start out on a
J-3.

And note that the Cub is remarkable in another way: it's still in
production, as the PA-18 Top Cub from Cub Crafters in WA.

The J-3 I fly cost $2600 new in 1946. A Top Cub with no frills will
cost you $140,000 today.
