        To make mistakes is human. To blame someone else for your mistake, is strategic.

        • Correct but it was Wilbur not Orville you can tell by the lack of a mustache.

          The story goes that when flying enthusiast King Alfonso XIII of Spain wanted to meet with Wilbur Wright at his new flying school in Pau France he had to promise his Queen and Cabinet that he would not go aloft.

          Doktor your question.

          • I knew it is in Pau, France. Those mustaches...

            On side note, they are seated in this.

            Open question.

                • Deperdussin Monocoque?
                  Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

                  Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

                    Correct: The Deperdussin Monocoque was an early racing aircraft built in 1912 by the Société Pour les Appareils Deperdussin. It is so named because of the method of construction of its fuselage. The aircraft is noted for winning the Gordon Bennett Trophy in 1912 and 1913, and for raising the world speed record for aircraft to 126 mph (203 km/h).

                      • I'll try a riddle.

                        It's WWII. I'm in a country soon to be a part of the soviet block. I hear and see large aircraft zooming past at low altitute, then lots of explosions. I see lots of black smoke rising. Where am I?

                            Almost an hour, not bad :)

                            • Okay, this will be an(other) easy one: this is the only Mach 3 strategic bomber to be built, but not go into production.
