Enjoy Your Flight

The doubters were stifled as doubters will When a plane took off on Kill Devil Hill, Just after Wilbur said to Orville Wright, “Fasten your seatbelts and enjoy your flight”.

David, your 4 lines had me re-reading about the Wright Brothers. Wilbur was only 45 when he died from typhoid fever - I never knew that but I do now thanks to your rhyming Epigram. :). Cheers - Gary

That's great to hear. I read a book about them when I was a little kid and was very impressed. Then, a while back, I read a new book about them by David McCollough, and it brought me back.
