Aviation

Hey Amanda,

Remember that time it was Friday and I completely forgot to post! Shoot. I'm sorry.

So here's the short story of the Wright Brothers,

1901- the Wright Brothers arrive in one of the windiest spots in the nation to test a glider. And it goes abysmally. So bad in fact that Orville writes his sister saying "Not in a thousand years will man ever take flight"

1903--the Wright Brothers make the first motorized flight on Earth.

So chin up. Perseverance wins.

Aviation is seriously awesome. So its 1903, the longest flight so far lasts less than two minutes.
By 1915, Tiny Broadwick demonstrates to the US military how to parachute out of a plane. Crazy. In 1928, at the age of 17 Elinor Smith becomes the only person to successful fly under all four of New York's bridges. And do you know why Amelia Earhart was famous? First woman to solo across the Atlantic and first person to solo the Pacific. She went missing in her attempt to circumnavigate the globe by plane.

Georgia Broadwick went by Tiny as she was 5'0' and weighed 85 lbs

And because this is a blog called Sisionary, we've got to have a shout out to Katharine Wright (the aforementioned sister to Wilbur and Orville Wright).  About whom Wilbur said,"If ever the world thinks of us in connection with aviation, it must remember our sister."

Katharine Wright knew how to rock a mortarboard

Adventure is out there,
