Wright Brother film clip from 1909

[Minstrel]

Incredible.



Here is a film clip from the Austrian archives
about the Wright Brothers demonstrating their plane in Italy
in 1909..
What is even better is there was an on-board
camera on the Wright plane and the last part of this film
shows it.
It's crystal clear. If you haven't seen
it, it's pretty cool. Wilbur Wright is at the controls
on both of the flights.

smooch, smooch, smooch, Minstrel my friend, loved it, honest, being an old pilot myself. I was intrigued watching the controls that they used.

Grandpa was a kid then, so it don't seem so long ago.

But looking at the skies of today, and the ability to film and instantly send images worldwide in an average person's hand, really adds perspective!
