The Wright brothers invented the 1st successful airplane in that flew from South Carolina. Revolutionary, indeed.

From propeller engines to jet engines, from single decker to double decker. Cheers to Aviation!
February 1996
My first ride on an airplane was the queen of the skies the Boeing 747 of Philippine Airlines. I didn't know what it does or where we'll go but I'm sure it is far. The first sight was so memorable and I can still recall the exact moment when I saw the iconic hump on the 747. I was so ecstatic that i keep asking my mom when are we coming inside?
Alas, we went inside. I was greeted by a Flight Attendant that is seemingly not a Filipino but rather of Indian descent. Curios. Truth be told, this was before the Asian Financial crisis when PAL is a major corporate failure and it had to shutdown and downsize.
that was my first love affair with airplanes.
