Australian Celebrations For The Centenary Of Powered Flight.
I have seen quite a few articles recently, about events in various other parts of the World, for celebrations soon for the Centenary of Powered Flight.
Is anyone aware of any special events in to be held Australia, to celebrate this magnificent 100 years of powered flight?

I'm with 18-Wheeler. The centenary of the first powered flight by New Zealander Richard Pearse occurred on March 31, 2003. There is also some evidence there may have been an even earlier powered flight - so the Wrights would at best be second, with some chance they were third.
