@I...@Iris: early experimentation took great risks.<br /><br />@Italiafinlandia: that's quite true.<br /><br />@Joan: it was quite a process.<br /><br />@Ella: the process of flight came from people all over the world, including a Jesuit priest of all things.<br /><br />@Tom: it really is.<br /><br />@Francisco: thanks!<br /><br />@Anvilcloud: it does!<br /><br />@David: it's likely that one of the bush planes I was looking at would be one of them. There was a set of chairs near one and a lecture time for earlier than I was at that spot- no doubt a pilot would be the person giving the talk about it. And there are guided tours that come through the museum regularly. Also there's the museum storage wing that would probably have other bush planes.<br /><br />@Janis: it is quite a museum.<br /><br />@Marie: that they are.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-56508404254847313002019-03-18T11:21:16.300-04:002019-03-18T11:21:16.300-04:00I had no idea that Bell was playing around with ki...I had no idea that Bell was playing around with kites!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.com
