66 years apart. Both of these events happened within the lifetime of someone still young enough to run marathons.

A lesson in the dangers of pursuing intellectual property claims, using the Pyrrhic victories of the #WrightBrothers: "The Wrights became so consumed with their lawsuits that they had no time or energy left for further work [on aircraft]."

Happy #WrightBrothers Day everyone!
It's amazing to think that it took humans tens of thousands of years to get to the Wright Brothers first flight at #KittyHawk, and then less than sixty-six years after that to land on the Moon.
And this is the anniversary of the #WrightBrothers first flite at #KittyHawk and to commemorate the moment we #quote #WilburWright and back it with a picture of an #Osprey heading into #CampPendleton at #sunset last night. If this #Quotograph speaks to you please repost it.

That little swatch of #Wrightflyer fabric attached to #Marshelicopter #Ingenuity seems to be doing its job as a good luck charm. #Perseverance #aviationhistory #Wrightbrothers #Dayton #Ohiohistory https://mars.nasa.gov/technology/helicopter/status/423/flight-36-preview-by-the-numbers/

Wright Family Home and Cycle Shop
In 1936, Henry Ford purchased the Wright family home and bicycle shop and moved them to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Mi.There are 5 original Wright bikes remaining. Greenfield Village owns two and one is on loan to the Smithsonian Museum in Washington DC.

Seems obvious to me that a city like #dayton -- birthplace of the #wrightbrothers -- would declare the Aviation as the Cocktail of the City.
