I gave a talk at a Cub Scout meeting once with several pilots from the Air
Force and Naval fighter and flight test communities.
After talking on aviation for an hour we took questions from the group.
The first question was for me from a little kid way in the back waving his
hand like there was no tomorrow. I called on him, and in front of my wife,
several of the AF and Navy's finest and THEIR wives, he calmly asked me if
I knew Wilber and Orville Wright!!!!
They STILL won't let me live THAT one down!!! :-)))

So, did you actually know them?

dog over to the hut to bite my ass, but my trusty pet T-Rex "Bonzo" tore
that dog up so bad he lit out like an F100 in full burner...all the way back
to Athens!!!

Let's just say that if you need your bycycle fixed, I might be able to get
you a discount.

Hey...no problem...anytime.

There's a great story about James A. Mitchner as a young boy that tells of
him being late for his third grade class one morning. The teacher asks that
he arrive at class the following day with a note from his mother explaining
why he was late.
Michner, ever the one to be innovative, writes his own note and gives it to
the teacher the following morning.
"In the beginning, God created upon the earth a great volcanic eruptive
landscape upon which the very essense of life was just beginning to
evolve............................................ .................................................. ........."
The teacher looked at Mitchner and said,
"James.........is this going to be a LONG story? "

HAHA,
That's a good one! My Dad has always been a history nut, so one could
easily use ancient Rome or Greece etc. My old man has one of the best
senses of humor you could have as well. Kind of a Bob Newhart dry wit, make
eveyone in a room laugh and he'd never crack a smile

Our local newspaper had an article on the Dayton Airshow.
They described Sean Tucker's plane as having new wings with eight ailerons.
Is this true? Or, is it just the reporter's error?
If true, how does it work?
The Team Oracle website doesn't show the new wing.
