Flying high


The New York Municipial Airport was dedicated on this day in 1939. It's name was later changed to LaGuardia Airport. Minutes after the dedication, the first piece of luggage was lost.

Not particularly concerned with luggage was Chuck Yeager, who was the first human to break the sound barrier in an aircraft sixty years ago yesterday (October 14, 1947.)
