I wish I could fly!

In 1903 Orville Wright made the first attempt at powered flight. The engine stalled during take-off and the plane was damaged in the attempt. Three days later, after repairs were made, the modern aviation age was born when the plane stayed aloft for 12 seconds and flew 102 feet.

This may not seem like a big deal but it was. Orville (along with his brother) was driven by his dream to fly and he made his dream come true. If that doesn't make you feel inspired then I don't know what will.
See you in Class!
