This flight demonstration of American aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright was of a special historic nature: it involved images from the first camera aboard a plane! The two-seater plane with Wilbur Wright at the helm did a lap before an audience of photographers, army men and noteworthy moustached men and just avoided the cameraman on the ground. Then the plane started up again, followed a launching pad and took off: the camera was fixed for the first time on the ground that gave way…and the emotion was there, so great you could almost touch it! The image was as unstable as the cabin of the plane flying at low altitude, flying over the countryside and gradually approaching a town. Click on the picture below to start video.

Well another X59 Airfest has come and gone and I must say that this years was even better than last. We more than doubled the Air Hogg members at the camp out and had two additional aircraft, thanks Gary and Ron. This photo was taken by the EAA at X59 and appears on their home page. Make plans to attend next year as it will be big fun!
