The first commercial airline carried passengers from St Pete to Tampa in 1914, only 11 years after the Wright Brothers first flew. And, in 1923, the Ta-Miami Air Line started operations between Tampa and Miami, in the same year that construction of the road was begun across the Glades. Air history goes on. In 1930s Opa-Locka was opened as a Naval air base; Eastern and Pan Am were founded. Newspapers were flown to Sanibel by seaplane in the 1939 "Dawn Patrol."

"Nevermore - The Story of the Raven FAC's and the Secret War in Laos" from www.nationalmuseum.af.mil
Jan. 27, 2010 - 7:30 p.m.
The Honorable Craig W. Duehring was born and raised in Mankato, Minn., and entered the Air Force in December 1967. He was commissioned through Officer Training School and completed Undergraduate Pilot Training at Craig AFB, Ala., in early 1969.
His first assignment was in the O-1 Bird Dog as a forward air controller for the 25th ARVN Division at Duc Hoa, Vietnam. In April 1970 he transferred to the classified "Raven" program in Laos and flew out of the "world's busiest airport" -- the CIA-backed Hmong guerilla headquarters at Long Tieng (Lima Site 20A) in both the O-1 and the AT-28. When he left Laos in March 1971, he was the longest serving Raven at Long Tieng in the history of the program.
