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
And thank heavens they did!

Oh yes they did. I admire people who are brave and follow their dreams, no matter what others think about them. Inspires me for my own little flights

Nice description of the first flight. It wasn’t that long ago.

The story how they did it with small means is a wonderful story compared to all those who tried and failed

We can only fly if we have dreams to be the wind beneath our wings!

I like the fragments of history and of the story here. Just enough to let us in on their enterprise. Nicely done, Jane.
