“World celebrates 100th anniversary of powered flight”

2003 ushered in the 100^th anniversary of the Wright Brothers 1^st flight.  France and England mark the occasion by simultaneously moth-balling their fleets of faster than sound Concorde jets.  Not to be outdone, Canada celebrates by sending Air Canada, it’s only remaining national air carrier (unless you count the Irving Family’s private jet), into receivership.  The United States, ever the life of the party, bomb the crap out of Iraq.
