I am so happy that some of you did fly today. Since we have flown into your airport, I know what it looks like over your way. We are too "financially challenged" at the present time to be able to fly. However we (my sweetie and I) are having our own celebration. When I get home from work tonight we are going to watch aviation films. This morning while I was getting ready for work, I was playing one of the videos we made of the Reno racers. I put the famous first flight photo on my computer at work as my desktop. Anyone coming by my office sees the image and asks me about it. Neat. So, we couldn't fly today, but I had aviation, specifically Orville and Wilbur, on the brain all day. Happy 100th everybody!
