I'll pass that along to Orville when I see him!

I visited the Air Force Museum in Dayton Ohio for a FAC reunion in October, and they had the replica Wright Flier B flying for us. Awesome. If you opened your wallet far enough, you could get a hop as copilot.

One of the guys who did so was an ex-SR-71 pilot. None of us thought of it at the time, but it surely was a Guinness Record - the only man to ever fly the Wright Flier and the SR-71! (For the record, he said that the B was much harder to fly!)
