RE: Preserving aviation heritage at the Age Jet Museum, Cheltenham, UK

Very interesting and informative overview of the museum. I still admire the true free flight pioneers who tried to conquer the skys with barely more then a wooden frame and a steering wheel 😀

Sort:  

I always think people back in the 'old days' are a lot more cleverer than us because they had nothing to help them yet they still managed to do so much. It's a bit like driving a manual car (when I first started to drive) you have to take care of everything whereas nowadays there is so much automation in the cars, I think maybe in a few decades time one don't even have to know how to drive!

They had to do more with less and were therefore forced to be creative while we more or less spend our lives in an optimized and automated environment. (at least in the well developed countries)

I completely agree in regards of the car driving. I do not expect my kids to ever have to apply for a drivers license. I`m convinced that we will see barely any driver steered cars on the streets in 20 years.
