Happy birthday gentlemen. I used to give Air Force guys a lot of shite - "next best thing to the military" and all that - but after a couple of joint deployments I have really come to appreciate them and their culture.

By 1907, the Army Signal Corps was preparing itself for flight — although it wasn’t yet sure by what means. It created an Aeronautical Division that consisted of three first lieutenants willing to work in the budding field of aviation. Two years later, on Aug. 2, 1909 — 110 years ago — the military began its grand aviation adventure when the Wright brothers delivered their first plane to the Signal Corps. The Army paid $30,000 for the aircraft, a Wright A Flyer. It was given the name Signal Corps No. 1, but was generally just known as the Wright Military Flyer.

Nice! My grandfather was in the Army Air Corps in Rio Hato, Panama during WWII. Stayed down there to work for the United Fruit Company.

Great branch of the service even if they get a lot of ribbing from the others.
