First person in the world ever to fly successfully

I don't like to fly. Before Monday, it was more than eight years since I had flown. It took a lot of energy and willpower to keep that plane in the air, but I did it. And flying has changed since I last took to the air. These newfangled TVs and mapquest on board. Amazing stuff. Knowing exactly where we were and how fast we were going was somewhere between excrutiating (at the start it was going way too slow) and comforting (checking in on the altitude every once in a while is a nice touch for the fearful flyer).
