raggtop, thanks for your service to the country. I can't figure out how to post to your comment about Amelia Earhart so I put it here. She was known for much more than her death. October 1922 - Earhart reaches an altitude of 14,000 feet at the Long Beach, Calif. Airshow.
- June 1928 - Earhart becomes the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by air.
- September 1928 - Earhart completes the first woman's solo, U.S. transcontinental round-trip flight.
- November 1929 - Earhart sets the aviation speed record for women when she flies her Wasp-powered Vega demonstrator an average speed of 184 mph over Los Angeles, Calif.
- June 1930 - Earhart sets speed records for the distance of 100 kilometers, and 100 kilometers with a payload of 500 kilograms.
- April 1931 - Earhart breaks altitude records for autogiros (the pre-cursor to helicopters) twice in one day at Pitcairn field in Pennsylvania - first at 15,000 feet, then 18,415 feet.
- May 1932 - Earhart becomes the first woman - and only the second person - to cross the Atlantic Ocean solo.
- August 1932 - Earhart sets the women's nonstop transcontinental speed record by flying from Los Angeles to Newark in 19 hours, five minutes.
- July 1933 - Earhart breaks her own transcontinental speed record, reducing it to 17 hours, seven minutes.
- January 1935 - Earhart becomes the first person to solo any part of the Pacific Ocean and the first person to fly solo over both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans when she flies from Hawaii to California.
- April 1935 - Earhart becomes the first person to fly solo from Los Angeles to Mexico City.
- May 1935 - Earhart becomes the first person to fly solo from Mexico to Newark, N.J.
- March 1937 - Earhart sets the speed record for an east to west crossing when she flies from Oakland, Calif. to Honolulu, Hawaii in 15 hours, 52 minutes.
- June 1937 - Earhart completes the first non-stop flight from Africa, across the Red Sea, to the Indian sub-continent, Assab-Karachi.
- June 1937 - Earhart attempts to fly around the world at the Equator.
Who gives a damn what you think, I share as fuck do not. It is more child endangerment to teach a child that there is a magical being in the sky, or some other religious dogma: then to let them live up to there dreams.
Religions beliefs do a person more harm then good. Letting a 16 year person try out a dream does them more good then harm.
If this is more good than harm, then ask all youngsters to do the same, and drive off-road motorcycle alone without helmet, and climb Mt. Everest alone, and such stuff that many have feared doing at a tender age, then...and let's hear their "bravery" in the primetime telecasts. Peace on Earth. =)
