When I was younger I really, really liked airplanes. I wanted to be an F-14 fighter pilot on an aircraft carrier. I studied aviation history, I decorated my room with posters of jets, I built model airplanes.
So today is a very important holiday. December 17, 1903 the Wright brothers designed and built the first airplane and made the first successful manned, powered flight.
It was my love for aviation that drove me to Moody Bible Institute to study missionary aviation. However, once I got there, God changed my passions and gave me a love for languages instead.
So today, because of Orville and Wilbur Wright I can put my family on an airplane and fly to Tanzania for only $4,200. The trip will take 25 hours and will cover 8,996 miles.
Happy Wright Brothers Day!! Thanks guys.
