Air Cargo Industry Has Roots in Dayton; First Air Cargo Flight Re-enactment Planned - Indy Transponder | While most people know the Wright brothers invented the airplane, few may know they were involved in the birth of the air cargo industry.
In 1910, using one of their airplanes assigned to the Wright Exhibition team, and with one of their newly trained pilots, they accepted an order from an Ohio businessman and successfully transported the world’s cargo by air. Those 200 pounds of silk cloth, traveling less than 100 miles, launched an industry that spans the globe moving billions of pounds of air freight per year.
The National Aviation Heritage Alliance, in partnership with the Wright B Flyer, Inc. will celebrate the 100th anniversary of air cargo on Saturday, Oct. 2, with a commemorative flight that retraces the original route in a lookalike of the original airplane, a Wright Model B. ...

In 1970, while assigned to the 71st FIS at Malmstrom AFB, Montana , its pilot ejected during an in-flight emergency. The pilot somehow got himself into a flat spin -- considered generally unrecoverable in an F-106 -- and he did what the flight handbook said to do -- get out of it, i.e. eject.
After the ejection, the aircraft recovered from the spin on its own, and established a wings level low rate descent under reduced power to the ground. Ground effect broke its rate of descent, and it settled into a near-perfect gentle belly landing in a farmer's snow-covered cornfield. ...
