Wright Brother's 100 Years
 
20 years ago I was lucky enough to attend the 100th anniversary of the Wright Brother's First Flight at Kittyhawk, North Carolina. A friend of mine was going as a reporter for the BALPA magazine and managed to get me a press pass.

We were able to attend the press briefings and got to meet the likes of Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Chuck Yeager and others. Here is a video(excuse some shakiness: it was on full zoom at times) and phots of the occasion.
