America marks half a century jetting cross country from Left Field by David Field
Come fly with me, yes, up, up and away. We miss those days of glamour with a 'u' and an 'a' 'i' and 'r.' We were reminded of them the other day when Argie Hoskins Shumway, a former American Airlines stewardess, I mean flight attendant, posted a new blog with her reminisces of the first cross-country jet flight. American made the flight 50 years ago Sunday with a Boeing 707 between California and New York. The 707 landed at New York's Idlewild (now called JFK) on January 25, 1959, with some celebrities on board, including actress Jane Wyman and a fellow from American named Smith. Above, Mrs. Shumway and the rest of the crew. She's on the right-hand center. ...
Bessie Coleman: a life less ordinary from AOPA Pilot Blog: Reporting Points by Jill Tallman
Today is the birthday of Bessie Coleman, the first African-American female pilot. Born in 1892, the tenth of 13 children, Coleman got the idea of becoming a pilot while reading newspaper articles about World War I pilots. No flight school in the United States would train her, but Coleman didn't let that stop her. She took a French language course in Chicago, then, using her savings and the help of some influential friends, she traveled to France. She learned to fly and got her license in 1921 from the Federation Aeronautique Internationale. When Coleman returned to the United States, now a celebrity, she performed in airshows and raised money to open her own flight school. She died in 1926 in an aircraft accident, apparently while flight testing a Curtiss JN-4 (I say "apparently" because there are differing accounts of what exactly happened). Coleman, riding in the rear seat, was not wearing a seat belt. (She may have been unable to see over the cockpit when strapped in.) Her mechanic was flying from the front. A wrench may have fallen into the controls and jammed them; the mechanic lost control of the aircraft, and Coleman fell out. Her mechanic also died in the ensuing crash.
Racial barriers failed to keep Bessie Coleman from taking her place in the sky. What might she have accomplished had she lived to a ripe old age?
