The Wright brothers are credited with building the first heavier-than-air aircraft that flew under its own power and successfully turned while in flight. This is considered to have been the first successful airplane design.
It was the first powered airplane to achieve sustained flight--as opposed to lifting off the ground and immediately landing, it flew for nine seconds on its first sustained flight. Nine seconds is nothing in 2009, but in 1903 when it had never been done before, it was amazing.
NoNo it is not. It is the same as if it had hit the ground. It's no longer "in flight" once it hits an object other than a fielder. It's only an out if the ball is caught "in flight." Bobbling it, or tipping it to another fielder is OK--it can still be caught for an out.
There were four planes. The names:United Airlines flight 11, United Airlines flight 93, American Airlines flight 175, and American Airlines flight 77.
The flight from Toronto to Cancun the closet airport is 1,766 miles. The flight is about 5 hours long with a connecting flight.
I think that Harriet Quimby's flight was considered a remarkable achievement because the flight was too dangerous for her
The Late Harriet Quimby's Flight Across the English Channel - 1912 was released on: USA: 13 September 1912
She was the first female licensed pilot in the United States, and she was also the first female to fly across the English Channel. She was also a fashion icon in a way - While male pilots wore drab flight wear, she designed her own (purple) aviation outfit complete with a hood which she wore whenever she flew. She was, as I understand it, quite attractive.

LAX to HNL is considered a domestic flight.

Soccer flight refers to the level at which a team plays. The English Premier League, in England, is considered "Top Flight Football" because their league is the highest level.
Purple. Her flight suits- some different weights for different seasons- were all purple, very striking. These suits were constructed of satin backed with wool (for warmth) and accessorized by high-heeled, lace-up boots, jewelry - Harriet was fond of fancy cloisonné - and topped off with a hood. The suit was one of the very first purpose-designed flight suits and became her trademark.
