Pliska

The first airplane built and flown in Texas, 1912. This is the original that has been preserved and restored, now displayed at Midland Airport, Texas.

Tonight's red-eye flight back to Britain will be on something a little larger, a United Boeing 777.

 

I'll be absent from flickr for a couple of days. Cheers!
