Forever my hero, all that is great about the American spirit

Not bad but nearly a decade after Alcock and Brown had been the first to cross the Atlantic non stop in an open cockpit plane in freezing weather with only a sextant to guide them, neither spent during the flight. They thought they were landing in a field but it turned out to be a bog but they were unhurt and claimed their place in history.

the thing about this was he was able to do it with pinpoint accuracy from city to city across an ocean and without any issues without even using a sextant.

@@vashbain3136 alone over 33 hours!!!! Heck I can't keep my eyes open driving 5 hours without taking an exit and resting!! In my book that makes him the greatest daredevil ever till this date. I don't even know how many can do it solo even today!!!

Prove it. Take a picture of this comment on an old camera that has to be developed in a dark room prior to this reply being made to your comment. Then scan that picture in a scanner and send it to your computer then upload it on a temporary image site. Then write "FIRST" on the original paper copy of the photograph at the bottom and re-scan it using another scanner that's not in the same room as the first scanner. Then write a letter to youtube requesting they issue a certificate of first comment regarding your comment. Allow them 28 days to respond or else take legal action and make sure you scan the legal letter on a third scanner.
