You MUST deliberately leave out one or two really important entries. If you do that you'll have the whole of LV posting in the topic and down on you like a ton of bricks. Jfr,

(Or havn't yet.) Thinking about it, I believe my proposed list will draw them though!

I even forwarded the list to my husband, a retired U.S. Air Force navigator, thinking he'd enjoy it and perhaps want to comment. When I asked him about it, he said that yes, he liked it, but he'd already known all of them, and more, and what was there to say? So, I'm sorry, but maybe the fact is that too many of us just knew the information already. I still think it's an excellent list, though! I also expected more in the way of responses.

But I'm not sure there's much to say beyond that. (At least nobody chimed in with anything along the lines of 'If God had meant us to fly he'd have given us wings'... That would have boosted the number of comments...) It’s an excellent list & I love the illustrations. But I’m not sure there’s much to say beyond that.

I'd have expected a lot more response too. I even remember Randall writing somewhere he was interested in aircraft. Maybe I should give up the idea of writing something along similar lines myself soon, but I wouldn't do a list I didn't thoroughly enjoy researching and learning from anyway. Thanks from one grateful customer. Jfr,

We would jump off the roof into 8 feet of snow (during a good winter only)or huge snow banks where the snow had drifted. That was too cool.
