Actually, 13 years before the Wright brothers, French engineer Clément Ader was the first to achieve a powered flight of an heavier than air machine. It was on October 9th, 1890. http://fly.historicwings.com/2012/10/clement-ader-and-the-eole/ …

My Son’s name is in the worlds largest logbook, @Joshyprice flew in a Cessna 150 10/03/1998

A favorite childhood memory was visiting Kitty Hawk with my dad, aeronautical engineering professor, USAAC WW2, where we walked the length of the 1st flight. He became interested in aviation at age 5 when Lindberg crossed Atlantic in 1927.

Awesome.

WE need to mention you more, cause you are a bonafide US National Treasure, God Bless and Happy Holidays, General Yeager.

General Chuck Yeager it is always a honor to hear from you! You are truly an American hero along with all that has and are serving our country! We just celebrated our Bill of Rights that is defended by people like you! Merry Christmas

I read the Right Stuff as a young woman and absolutely fell in love with flight and your courage and humor. I even learned to fly. If you just tweet me back, I will be the happiest woman alive.

If Obama had been there, he might have chided you on your contribution to the proliferation of greenhouse gas emissions.
