From Bicycles to Airplane

Wright brother Orville

At the top of the hill trying to fly

From a little toy that built a dream

Building bikes

Need balance

Don’t fall off

Leave the ground

Let’s stay up not go down

Watch the turkey vulture fly

Wilbur went day dreaming

Built a lite glider

Need for a windy place

Privacy

Kitty Hawk

Wrote a letter

Answer yes we can

Wide open space

Lots of sand

Wind like the Sahara desert

Little boy Tommy Tate

First to fly

Two minute flight for Wilbur

Went home to Ohio

Built a wind tunnel

1902 off the sand dune

a thousand times

Roll

Pitch

Yaw

These three created flight

    Like the originality and boldness in your choice of topic and a sparkling and confident write too, which was a pleasure to read, Jane – thank you…
