Bleeb doesn’t seem to be too impressed with this so-called flying machine.

“Dang. I shoulda paid attention to the pre-flight spiel from the attendant.”

Yep, plane as day

“But it flew! You SAW IT!!!!!!”

And the tray table wasn’t in its full upright and locked position. He probably had his cell phone on too!

Gee, I didn’t realize orange crates reclined.

Wow, I actually “chortled”…

That’s not the Wrights first flyer.

Of course. What was he thinking of. We can not have anarchy in Coach with people sitting all higgledy piggeldy any way the want. The plane would fall right out of the sky or burn up on the runway. Then the idiot in 129f would know why we sit up straight on take off and landing.

“….upWright position…” ?

The wing structure and arrangement is all wrong for the Wright Flyer.

Typical! My luggage didn’t make the fight!(Officially it is an airplane, does that make Bleeb a Gremlin?)

I know but it was just a short hop.

The first flight could have taken off, flew and landed within the length of the inside of a 747 lower passenger cabin.

And don’t forget to “tuck and roll…”

It’s a good thing they learned so early in the history of flight that the seatback needed to be in the upright position.

He’s Wright!

Perhaps Bleeb has the advantage of hindsight?

Your wright brothers Nov 13, 2019 is great, I am reading a 2018 book “Wright Brothers, Wrong Story” William Hazelgrove. Seeing this in the Boston Herald was most timely. Keep your great contributions coming.

No, he didn’t put his cell phone in “airplane” mode!
