AIR FLIGHTS TO CANCUN

Unlocking the Gateway to Flight: The Keys to the Success of the Wright Brothers

Unlocking the Gateway to Flight: The Keys to the Success of the Wright Brothers tells the fascinating story of how two remarkable brothers realized mankind's age-old dream of flight. In crystal-clear prose it chronicles, step-by-step, how patience, the scientific method, inspired genius, and incredible concentration changed the world forever. The book covers the unique role the entire Wright family played in the development of these two young men, contributing greatly to their eventual success and notoriety.
Neither Orville, nor Wilbur held a high school diploma; both had only modest means. Yet in just four short years they learned the secrets of flight that had evaded even the most famous, the best-educated, and the most heavily-financed scientists and engineers for centuries. The principles they discovered a century ago still apply to every aircraft built today.
Beautifully designed by Dayton artist Bill Patterson, of Patterson Graphics, and liberally illustrated with photographs and diagrams, many from the Wrights' archives, this casebound, commemorative edition features 16 additional, full-color pages highlighting the centennial celebrations of December 17, 2003, in Kitty Hawk, NC. This special edition includes exclusive photos not seen in the softcover version of the exciting reenactment of the first flight on that historic day.
Available to libraries and non-profit organizations at a special discounted rate.

I got the key to the highway,
Billed out and bound to go.
I'm gonna leave here running,
Walking is most too slow.

I'm going back to the border
Where I'm better known.
Becuase you have done nothing,
Drove a good man away from home.

When the moon peeks over the mountains
I'll be on my way.
I got to roam this old highway
'Til the break of day.

I got the key to the highway,
Billed out and bound to go.
I got to leave here running,
Walking is most too slow.

Oh give me one more kiss mama
And I must say goodbye.
I got to roam this old highway
Until the day I die.

Charles Segar and Willie Broonzy

Cedar Key is one of the oldest ports in the state, and when Florida's first railroad connected it to the east coast, it became a major supplier of seafood and timber products to the northeast. Today it has become a haven for artists and writers who find the unspoiled environment inspirational to their work.
Federally protected sanctuaries, the Cedar Keys form a chain of barrier islands ideally suited to a vast range of migratory and shore birds, including the elusive white pelican, roseate spoonbill and bald eagle. The variety of natural habitats, from salt marshes to Indian shell mounds, makes this truly a nature lover's paradise.
