I was cleaning out my great-grandfather's old barn when I came across this chest tucked away behind some old rusty farm tools. When I opened it I noticed that it contained some old photos. Attached to the photos was a fragile piece of paper that said, " Wilbur and Orville's trial runs". I thought I would share his clippings with you!

"Wilbur tests the rail"

...


"Wilbur being pulled across the dirt by the rail cable."

...


"Wilbur about to take off"

...


"Wilbur hanging on for dear life"

...


"Wilbur is FLYING!!"

...


"Wilbur about to crash into the corn fields!"

...

Hope you enjoyed,
Great Grandpa "Fly"   Wink
