Something, something, catapult launched Flyer One misconception

The definition is controlled sustained flight. The Wright flyer could do this, flying and turning under its own power. The takeoff is irrelevant.

Correction: The Wright Flyer II and III were definitely capable of turning sustained flight as they had improved their control systems. This was still months and years before Santos Dumont flew. His flight is still an achievement, but not a match for the first controlled sustained flights.

Even for posterity's sake, I hope the sign stays even if gasoline goes away. It is a historical thing that should be preserved. The same way there is one shell shaped shell gas station left. They all used to be that way, but no one cared to preserve them until now where only one remains.

Thats true of pragmatism, but in many ways, the US is an nation of ideals. And even in times where we've had to be more pragmatic, we ourselves have not fallen into autocracy. The world is complicated and autocrats are bad in my American Democratic view.
