- metalman 2y agowhoa! there kelly! not flight! uncontrolled hops! read up about the wright brothers at the worlds first "air show" in paris france ?1909? therabouts where they casualy went about there business, and everybody else was completely astounded, and concided there mastery....the wrights were offered the keys to all of europe, litteraly, but declined as they had to rush back to the US, to attend pattent litigation procedings, and this world we live in, happened, and another, didn't. One of the moments where a clear fork in destiny happened, and is still relevant.As per your comment!
