Tuesday's Questions for the Wednesday Medley...

Here is a medley of questions for the Wednesday Medley.  I always start with the National Day Calendar Day for ideas and base questions from there. No rules and there is no obligation. Link up if you want to.  I'm doing this to fill my Wednesday and if you are interested, then I invite you to join in and link up with other ‘Meddlers’!!  

I went a couple of days ahead on the calendar for today's theme.  

Let's see where it takes us!

Everything below this line is from the National Day Calendar Website.

NATIONAL RIDE THE WIND DAY 

Enjoy the last days of summer and the warm summer breezes on August 23 as you celebrate the annual National Ride the Wind Day.

National Ride The Wind Day commemorates the anniversary of the first human-powered flight to win the Kremer prize.

It was on August 23rd of 1977 that the Gossamer Condor 2,  flew the first figure-eight course specified by the Royal Aeronautical Society, at Minter Field in Shafter, California.  Slowly cruising at only 11 mph, it traveled a distance of 2,172 meters.

The Gossamer Condor 2 was built by Dr. Paul B MacCready and piloted by amateur cyclist and hang-glider pilot Bryan Allen.

The Gossamer Condor 2 aircraft is preserved at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum.

We all know that cooler air is right around the corner so take advantage of these nice days and get outside as much as possible. Test out those human-powered aircraft and make some history. summer breezes allow us to fly human-powered. In the event you lack a human-powered aircraft, flying a kite is always a good back plan.

1.  Tell us about the first airplane ride you took and do you like to fly?

2.  Have you ever gone hang gliding and was it on the beach with boat power, or from a mountain with only the wind and your body?

3.  Have you ever gone kite flying and with whom?

4.  Experimental aircraft is quite popular as a hobby where Terri lives.  Have you or anyone you know ever constructed a flying machine and did you ride in it?

5.  Another big hobby around Lakeland is Radio Controlled Airplanes.  Have you ever seen them flying or tried your hand at it?

6.  Please tell us something about your week.

Thanks for peeking in at the Medley questions.  If you choose to join in this week, please come back tomorrow and link-up with the other Meddlers!

Peace & hugs!!  God bless!!
