....just in case you forgot. Orville and Wilbur doin' their thing 109 years ago today. Orville is lying prone on the bottom wing of the Wright Flyer showing us a clean pair of heals whilst working his ring off to keep the pointy end pointed forward. The Flyer wasn't known for it's static or dynamic stability.
Wilbur is seen running along side offering whatever encouragement he can.

Hi-res pic above. A truly remarkable photo. Take the time to study it in detail.
