If you doubt the power of history, take a look at the number of hits on the First Flight web site on December 17th. 80,861 hits from 10,714 visitors. The site usually has between 200 and 2,000 visitors per day except that on the 17th the number of visitors really climbed and was still over 4,000 the following day.
In case you missed it, there was a little matter of the Wright Brothers Centennial on that day.
