And, we all missed it!

Yesterday, the 17th was the 106th anniversary of why none of us are normal or have real jobs-you'd have to be crazy to get into a business where you can be guaranteed a lifetime of being permanently temporarily employed!....................can I lick any windows for you?

It's a double birthday! First Wright flight and... first DC-3 flight! Well remembered Inspector, sometimes we are so busy we forget these moments.

I did'nt realize it until Craig Ferguson mentioned it on his show last night....then he continued on to do an extended monologue on aviation and his heroes like Chuch Yeager and his favorite scene from the movie 'The Right Stuff', the part where Yeager walks out of the crash....Ferguson is a certified pilot and a big promoter of aviation, glad he jogged my memory or it would've flown right by me...pun intended!

I didn't forget, I just thought it was a civilian aircraft so I didn't want to get yelled at for posting anything about it on a Warbird site! :wink:
