#1543 – JET AIRLINER - 12/17/2019

Near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, Orville and Wilbur Wright make the first successful flight in history of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft in 1903. Orville piloted the gasoline-powered, propeller-driven biplane, which stayed aloft for 12 seconds and covered 120 feet on its inaugural flight.

Now Steve Miller’s trials and tribulations are somewhat less severe than those of Orville & Wilbur, but you get the general idea.
