You are one of a few legendary men, General. Up there with the big ones, in the historybooks we teach the next generation of aviators with.

There's something magical about flight. All I ever piloted was an old Mooney but it's awe inspiring

A century plus change further on, one thinks “Who the HELL gets into doped fabric and wood and wire and heads off into the wild, blue yonder?!” Simple answer: “Americans”.

Is it true they called it a plane to rhyme with train?

Good heavens have you witnessed a lot. Lucky man. I wish I could hear you tell your story.

Dont tell me you flew that one too!

Good morning, General! It is fortunate Mr. Wright did not try to take President Taft along on the flight, or history may have been very different.

Thanks for remembering ....ツ

This is a great tweet. It’s a liftoff. Puts everything in perspective. Sir.

You are a true hero of flight!
