That probably explains why it was in USA Today. I didn't see it posted here so gave it a shot.

Could Wright brothers, N.C. lose 'first in flight' stature?
Was a German immigrant from Connecticut actually the first to fly?

Doesn't surprise me one bit.
In fact, Christopher Columbus comes to mind every time I hear about someone historically being the first to do this or discover that.
Or the guy they made that movie about, who invented windshield wipers for Ford or GM but got the shaft for his invention.
Same deal. I even read somewhere once that the Wright Brothers knew they weren't the first.

The Wright Brothers may not have been the first to fly
Surprised? I was to. According to Jane's All the World's Aircraft, someone flew 2 years before the Wright Brothers. Read to find out more.

Slow News day at Fox. Maybe 'shocking' because it he announced it with Tase in hand?
