100 years Wright Brothers

[clay]

Just a little info. This is the 100 years anniversary for the Wright Brothers flight. The E.A.A. (Experimental Aircraft Association) has a program called young eagles. This is where they fly kids between the ages of 7 and 17 for free. They will get a autograph certificate from Chuck Yeager and will be registered in the worlds biggest log book at the smithsonian's insitution, this is all FAA sanction. They will fly 1,000,000 kids and they are over 900,000 already. My boys are doing this in August, of course you will have to sign a waiver. Just search the web for EAA young eagles.

The Tidewater Council, which covers NE North Carolina, has resurrected the Outer Banks Historic Trail medal to commemorate the 100th anniversary of flight. The year's activities culminate in a Camporall on 10-12 October 2003 at the Dare County Airport, Manteo, NC.

There is a BSA Flying Permit No.19-672 found in the appendix of the Guide to Safe Scouting that must be filed at least two weeks in advance of the flight with the local BSA council office.

 

By the way it is also the 100th anniversary of the Harley Davidson, The 100th anniversary of Ford, the 50th anniversary of the Corvette, and my parents 50th wedding anniversary.
