On this day in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright made their first two flights in the #aircraft they had built. 118 years, 11 months and 11 days later, I proudly received my certificate from the FAA allowing me to take flight in my aircraft. It's easy to take the concept of flight for granted these days since it has become so ingrained in our way of life with our massive airliners and sprawling airports. Getting my #pilot certificate has been a great reminder of just how incredible a thing it is and I feel so very fortunate to be able to experience it in the way I do when I hop inside 55J.

I'm truly thankful for opportunity to do this and to my sister for coming on my first real flight. I also cannot wait to share this experience with my friends and my family. (Now if the weather would just cooperate)
