Subject: [COUPERS-FLYIN] First Flight Day

First Flight Day -- As we all know, December 17 will mark the 100th
anniversary of the first flight of a powered, human carrying airplane,
and we know that EAA will fly a replica Wright Flyer at Kittyhawk on
that day. What are the rest of us going to do? If you have access to
an airplane, you could also fly that day. You could write a letter to
invite a city official (mayor, council member, etc.) to fly with you.
Yes, I know that December 17 is a Wednesday. Do it at noon! I've
talked to Bob Warner, Executive Vice President at EAA, and he said he
would try to get the word out to all EAA members to a flight on First
Flight Day. I told him I would tell all the Ercoupers on our email
list. Let's talk to all of our flying friends, and make this a major
event!
