        Oh my, wouldn’t the military love to buy new aircraft for $30,000 today. Of course the technology has improved just a touch.

        Tragically less than a year before that, Lt. Thomas Selfridge lost his life in the first fatal crash of a powered aircraft. The Air Force base closest to where I live, is named in his honor.
