What the FU*K is the matter with some of you? Can't a guy even ask a question without you freaking people jumping down his throat? Sheesh. It's embarrassing to the site as a whole to have people act that way. If you don't like the thread, then just don't post in it.
Sure I was- a year in advance of their trip. I'm the same guy who tells those very tourists, one day later, that I was joking, and offered advice real advice and tips for his trip to NYC. Any more brilliant points to bring up, Captain Obvious?
A small sample of some famous ones.............. (thanks to Wikipedia) William Edward Boeing (October 1, 1881 - September 28, 1956) was an aviation pioneer who founded The Boeing Company. Hezarfen Ahmet Celebi (Turkish: Hezarfen Ahmet ?elebi) (1609 ? 1640), who lived in the 17th century in Istanbul in the Ottoman Empire, is claimed by some to be one of the first aviators to have succeeded in flying with artificial wings. Ihor Ivanovych Sikorsky (Russian: Игорь Иванович Сикорский; Ukrainian: Ігор Іванович Сікорський) (25 May 1889 ? 26 October 1972) was a pioneer of aviation who designed the first four-engine airplane and the first successful helicopter of the most common configuration (single main rotor tail rotor). Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr. (February 4, 1902 ? August 26, 1974), known as "Lucky Lindy" and "The Lone Eagle", was a pioneering United States aviator famous for piloting the first solo non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927. Amelia Mary Earhart (July 24, 1897 ? missing as of July 2, 1937), daughter of Edwin and Amy Earhart, was an American aviator and noted early female pilot who mysteriously disappeared over the Pacific Ocean during a circumnavigational flight in 1937. And FINALLY an Aussie!!! Air Commodore Sir Charles Edward Kingsford Smith MC, (February 9, 1897 - November 8, 1935), often called Charles Kingsford-Smith, or by his nickname Smithy, was the best-known early Australian aviator. He completed the first non-stop crossing of the Australian mainland and the first flight from Australia to New Zealand, and was also the first to complete the more difficult eastward Pacific crossing from Australia to the United States, in 1934.
