Cargo plane.

No mass carnage.

Try harder. :tothehand:

NPR: "Why do we continue to celebrate the Wright Bros? Their aircraft's controls were so primitive, it didn't have any instruments on them for navigation and safe flight, it couldn't fly very high or fast, and worst of all, it used fossil fuels. Why do we continue to celebrate these white men that made such a flawed aircraft?"

As a whitey, am I supposed to be offended by history? It’s so confusing these days.

If you look at everything through a racial lens and believe that being a whitey automatically makes you an oppressor, then no.

I’m oppressing a cigar and a wee dram at this point.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ and my teenage daughters ... I oppress them

Other than that, if someone is being oppressed by me them they are doing it wrong

Probably the same people that bought the Trump Russia collusion narrative and pedaled it for 4+ years. Good thing we don't have anyone like that around here...

True. I also don't think you can discount the possibility that the person who bought it also thought it might help with the planning. There are MENSA level geniuses with 6.93x our intelligence on both sides of this kerfluffle. :D

Good point, when I design infrastructure I definitely start with a LEGO mock up first before getting it into CAD.

The Wright bros did a full scale mock up with Lego's before going into production.
