The Wright Brothers' First Flight

On this day in 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright made the first powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. One-hundred and eight years later we have the Transportation Safety Authority standing between us and the plane we want to get on. Almost makes you wish those boys had stuck to bicycles.
