At the end of the flight, they declared that they had the world's first practical airplane.

It was the first time in American history a war had been declared over by an anchorman.

If you take one of the first flights out in the morning, typically the airplane and the crew have arrived the night before. When you're not waiting on an inbound flight, there are fewer delays.

My background is in physics, so I was the mission specialist, who is sort of like the flight engineer on an airplane.

And the first flight of the tether satellite happened in '92, and I was the backup on that flight.

Part of the reason they chose Huffman Prairie Flying Field is that they were basically ignored out there.
