• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

One small step for aviation buffs

An historic thread, nice idea!

Wilbur Wright came in France at Le Mans in 1908 with a Flyer 'Model A' and made the first flight on 8th of August 1908. To commemorate this 100 year old event, a replica of this aircraft was build and it was presented in june at Le Mans a few hours before the famous 24 hours race (I was there! :jump: )

But Le Mans, it's not only racing cars :d
