Flying

IDEAS: 01 TUESDAY JUNE 22, 2004 Part One of Flying tonight on Ideas. It began life as a kite, then metamorphosed into an engine-powered, piloted machine. On a cold December day in 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, it took off, flew for twelve seconds and landed. A little more than a hundred years after the Wright Brothers' first flight, Marilyn Powell looks at flying - the passion, poetry and obsession of it all. That's tonight on Ideas at 9 (9:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.   (CONCLUDES TOMORROW) 02 WEDNESDAY JUNE 23, 2004 The conclusion of Flying tonight on Ideas.
